When I got to thinking about girraffes for Alex,...I only have a baby girraffe stamp so got the thinking cap on...lol...so if you smelled smoke....lol...It did work a bit...I wanted to do a fun one and I remembered the fun movie ...Madagascar and fun Melman...so had to have him wish Alex the best.
I just drew him and colored him with a water pen and inks, cut him out and cut out the head and raised just it to give it more a 3 d look.
I tried tonnes of dp but couldntfigure out what would work, I so have trouble with that...:0)...so I kept it clean and simple and just doodles around the edge, and added the bit of matching ribbon I had found.
There is a cute fun song on that movie ...which states ... you got to move it, move it...etc...so I am putting that on the inside with ...and get better soon. hopefully will bring a smile for her...:0)

Love Melman - you brought him to life on this card. Just LOL when I saw this.....just how does the top of the giraffe catch up with the rest of the giraffe when they get their groove on --from the looks of Melman he is trying to figure this out as well as he dances around! Alex will love this personalized piece of artwork and sentiment.
