This challenge was awesomeI combined two for this challenge. The first was the negative space challenge WT176, the second was the white space challenge set by DGJulieHRR.
This was sooooo much fun and I'm so happy with the results.
I stamped my Artful Stamper giraffe in memories artprint brown and then masked her off. I punched a circle and used it as a negative mask and sponged in summer sun and groovy guava to make the sun and then masked the sun off as well and sponged some soft sky around the entire image to ground it a bit. Then I stamped the sentiment on top in chocolate chip. Then I went back and water coloured the giraffe using creamy caramel, close to cocoa and chocolate chip by using marker ink as my medium. So I guess I also combined in the watercolouring challenge that Christine set for us.
This card makes me smile and I just can't wait to send it to someone!
Hope you like the card as much as I enjoyed making it.

Your coloring on this is gorgeous! I love the image - looks almost realistic, yet still very cute (with the eyelashes). You did a great job w/the masking as well. Great card, all around!! It would make ME smile, too.
