Cute and Cuddly!

Hello all!
    Can you guess the theme for this week's challenge over at The Outlawz alcohol markers DT group? Yep, we want you to tap into your cute and cuddly side so plenty of choice for you :)  Don't forget to use those alcohol markers though!
         For my card I used a digi from Teddy Bo - those of you familiar with my blog will know I have a soft spot for these very sweet images.  I'm back on the CAS train with this one - I used my Cameo to cut out the red shape which I then dry embossed and chalked to bring out the brick work.  For embellishments, I simply added a Tim Holtz ticket and some washi tape.


              I would like to enter this into the challenges at  Animal FriendsCrafting Musketeers , Forever Friends and Creative Corner .



                     I love giraffes so this is one of my favourite images - they're such a strange looking animal and have fantastic eyes.  There's a great wildlife park back in the UK (Whipsnade Park), that we've often visited and they have a giraffe enclosure there where you can get some pretty good photos.  Here's one of mine.....


Hope you have a great weekend and thanks so much for popping in!

Where do I start? Well, your photo is super-cool! I love giraffes, too, and always go to see them at the Phoenix Zoo when I go there. I love photographing them, too! Especially love their eyelashes! ;^)

Hey Dawn, now here is yet another thing we have in common...the love of giraffes :)
and your card is fantastic to say the least. Love the colour splashes of the red and black! That image is A.D.O.R.A.B.L.E.

Sorry I haven't been around to comment, as I have had some personal issues and need to take a break. Hopefully I will be back at it before you know it, this being a very good sign, the mere fact that I am commenting. Thanks for the smile today. :)S xo

Love the card and your use of the washi tape! As for the giraffes, next time you are in Florida, you might want to plan some time to visit the Brevard Zoo where you can pet the giraffes. So amazing! Here's the link http://brevardzoo.org/

Awwwww. How cute! I love the giraffe and the way you colored him.

I think giraffes are odd-looking, but endearing creatures. I love that they have eyelashes!
