This image is colored with copics and sponged with Memento inks. The background is one from my stash, most likely ink free distress using a mix of brown distress inks. A few stitches were added and rug lacing thread was used for the X's. Thanks for looking.

Oh Nancy, every time I see one of your cards my bad side comes out... I am green with envy over your creativity and talent. This card is amazing. Your use of color and coloring ability is fantastic. Then you always add such great details. I love the beads and stitched areas. Your bg paper is stunning, the punched upper edge is perfect for this card, and that giraffecis just too cute. I can't stop admiring this spectacular creation.

Oh my gracious! Check out the expression on your giraffe! Sooooo cute! Kind of makes a person want to hug the card! I always enjoy seeing the organic treatments you use on your cards. Fun twine and beads!
