Baby Giraffe for Twofer

Hello friends.  I'm so glad you could visit.


I'm joining in at the Twofer Challenge today.


I didn't  think I had any zoo animals, but then I remembered
this sweet giraffe stamp.


One of my daughters needed baby cards last time she was here and
I need to replenish my supply.  So my onefer is a baby card.

I colored this with Copic markers.


For my twofer, I went with a get well card.

Sorry it looks crooked.  I think my doodling went awry.

I had some fun using stencils and embossing paste for
CAS Stencil so I popped this giraffe on one of those backgrounds.


This one was colored with Distress Markers and a waterbrush.



Thanks for the visit and special thanks for your comments.

Enjoy!Google

Your doodling is great and love the embossing paste on that one card. They're both adorable!

That's an awesome detailed giraffe image, Bonnie, and you've done a masterful job of coloring him! Two sweet occasions to use him for with your baby card and your get well card! BTW, cool embossed stencil background on that feel better card!! Thank you so much for playing in Twofer Card Challenge #15! Hugs, Darnell

Bonnie, that giraffe is so adorable Bonnie, he has the sweetest face. Two cute cards and love the stencilling as a background frame :)

That Giraffe is just the sweetest, what a face!! Love it.
And I agree, the stencil you used for your second card is totally awesome.
Have a fabulous Sunday.

Two adorable cards and how could you go wrong with that sweet face! Your coloring of him is awesome and I love that embossing paste frame. I don't notice crooked as it is my middle name.

What an adorable image and fabulous to use it in two very different ways x The face on the giraffe is perfect for the baby card and I think the way you've angled the image on the get well card lends itself to feeling 'unwell'....Hopefully that makes sense? x Great colouring on both and the stencil paste on the second looks terrific. Creative and super cute cards Bonnie x.

Liz said...

Lovely image and he looks so different how you've coloured him on each card. Love the doodling on the second card. xx

Nstiz said...

He is adorable, Bonnie! Your doodling is wonderful and I don't see crooked at all. Love the embossing paste background- so fun to do as well as the soft blue for the baby card! Your coloring is so well done too!

I love giraffes Bonnie and love what you've done with both of these cards, adorable image, beautifully coloured, Cathy x

JosieD said...

What cute cards...love the combo of the embossing paste thru a stencil and the doodling with a Sharpie pen to set off the image on card 2. I never seem to have kids cards (or masculine ones) when I need them so this is a good reminder to build up a stash by doing twofers and using fast and easy backgrounds. Thanks for sharing the specific Copics and Distress Markers you used.

Barb Ghig said...

Your giraffe is adorable, Bonnie...he has such a sweet expression! I love how you colored him on both cards and how you added texture with your paste on the get well card...so cute! I'm so happy you joined in the fun at CAS Stencil...we always enjoy seeing your creations in the gallery :) Barb xx

Two beautiful giraffe cards Bonnie. The baby one is so sweet with the softly sponged blue background and the blue card base. Your get well card is so awecome with the embossing paste background and your doodled border. Your copic colouring of the giraffe is AWESOME! Thanks for playing along with us at Twofer Card Challenge and CAS Stencil! xx

Leslie Miller said...

Oh, my gosh, that's the sweetest, coolest giraffe stamp! Very life like with your awesome coloring. Don't they make the cutest baby cards? This one certainly is adorable! Your get well card doesn't look crooked to me. Love the textured background. Both cards are just fabulous and I'm so glad to see them in our Twofer gallery!

Susan said...

Those are fabulous, Bonnie. Love the giraffe's sweet face! Great addition of the bow on the baby card, but my favourite is the get well one - he definitely looks unwell compared to the one on the baby card (great colouring to depict that!). And I love the embossing paste background.

Anita in France said...

That's such an adorable giraffe, Bonnie ... love how you coloured him so softly for your new baby card ... and gave him that fun bright bow! The texture on your get well card is brilliant ... puts me in mind of the pattern of his skin ... who wouldn't feel better seeing this cutie arrive in the mail! Thanks so much for playing along with us at Twofer ... and for your lovely visit and sweet words! Hugs, Anita :)

BożenA said...

Such an elegant giraffe :-) I love especially the second card, where he made a beautiful paste background. Your Copic coloring is stunning, Bonnie!
hugs,

Two fun giraffe designs Bonnie! and wonderful coloring on your long necked fella! The white paste embossing adds nice texture to your white framing! xx

Linda said...

Your little giraffe is adorable. Two great designs .... love the stenciling with the paste, makes the perfect frame xx

Verna Angerhofer said...

What a fun giraffe image. He has such a sweet smile I think. Great cards made with him too.

That giraffe is adorable, Bonnie. Both twofers are beautiful. Wonderfully coloured and designed. xx

How could you forget that sweet face, Bonnie. Beautiful coloring in both mediums.
