Both my son's think that this is not my style ,but I liked this cartoon giraffe I found on the internet when I was looking for a cute giraffe I could quill.
Why a giraffe? because it seems Akhil has finally grown taller than me and is very pleased with himself. For months I have been dragged to stand in front of the mirror with him to see if he has grown taller than I am . It would be with shoes on , without shoes , after a meal , after a haircut ....Now I hope it his father's turn. My elder son Abi is more than six feet and this giraffe is for my tall boys.
I drew the giraffe on a yellow colour paper and cut it out ,I added quilling only for the dark shade.Then I stuck thick black colour strips to the outline. I also cut out the tree and the bark of the tree from brown hand made paper.
There is also some good news. I won Kavitha's blog candy.
Kavi is my first blogger friend and of course namma Chennai girl. I initially visited her blog for her excellent paintings and then for her cards. I have seen her grow more and more creative with her cards.She amazes me with her aptitude to craft . We both have one thing in common we both are not happy until we fill up our entire card::)
For me making cards is just an excuse to quill ,I hope I learn to use all these cool stuff.
Thanks for stopping by, have a creative day.
It looks very cute.. makes a very ideal b'day card for little kids! Must have been extremely hard to glue the outline of the Giraffe so perfectly.
