Well… at least my giraffe is a girl, you can tell because she is pretty in pink, ‘sweet blush’ to be exact! I needed to make something ‘cute’, and this is what I came up with when I combined a couple of my favourite challenges. Heather has another Totally Hues Challenge and Scrapbook Boutique would like some stitching. Have I told you that I used to ‘cross stitch’, there is a limit though, of just how much stuff you can hang on your walls or give away! But as a consequence I now have every DMC colour and will never run out in my lifetime. It is weird though, I would think nothing of sewing for hours and now I struggle just to add 3 stitches to a card, go figure. So here it is… hope you like it!

This is fabulous! I love the layout and that giraffe is adorable!
That is so cute….”she” looks great on the woodgrain background. Hey I was a cross stitcher too….yep know just what you’re saying about the copious amounts of DMC and not enough walls lol…..much easier and quicker to make and give-away cards! xL
Beautiful card Therese, just love all the little details. I used to cross stitch too and agree, you only have so much wall space, Lol.
Love your photo presentation by the way 🙂

Your post about the stitching is hilarious…once you cross over to the dark side of the craftworld (i.e., card making), all other crafts seem to go by the wayside 🙂 This card is seriously perfect! There are so many fabulous elements–the giraffe, the background stamping, the button over the edge, and of course the stitching–perfect!!
I agree with Jocelyn – lots of awesome elements! The background stamping gives it so much depth, the three little stitches are darling and the girly giraffe is too cute. 🙂
Super sweet card!!! love that pink giraffe.
EEEEEEEP! I love, love, LOVE this!
so cute, love that criss cross stitching!!
