I want to get this cute critter posted to enter to the challenge at The Paper Shelter which ends today. Because my schedule at the office blew up... yet again, this blog entry will have just one item. (Which I don't remember ever doing!)
So, here goes- all wrapped up in mummy gauze this Giraffe looks like a Halloween decoration! I added a "touch of Mummy" to the cream-colored card base, by ripping a few strips of paper to serve as stencils, and lightly sponged brown ink in thin stripes across the background. I fussy cut the giraffe mummy, and adhered him atop the sponged stripes. In the close-up photos, you can see a few of the extra touches that I added to provide texture-1) pieces of real gauze serve as photo corners, 2) a bit of sewing with tan embroider floss provides "tufts" to his tail and horns (research noted that they are officially named ossicones,; and 3) scraps of a gold Hersheys Kiss wrapper and a glossy blue paper strip from a gourmet chocolate bar provide bling and shine in the candy holder pumpkin!
