Oh! Now there's a different sort of giraffe and I love it! Fabulous giraffe-colored background on your birthday card and lots of color on your "what's up?" card. Great sentiment for a giraffe! You aced the challenge, Hannelie. Thanks for playing along with us at Twofer!
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness, Hannelie!!! Two fabulous cards! I love the geometric giraffe!!! Love the way you used the colors from the CAS colors and sketches in the second one for the giraffe and the embellishments. Wonderful design, as always. Thanks so much for playing with us at Time Out!
ReplyDeleteYou managed to get just the right colors behind your majestic giraffes. I love your handmade enamel dots, too. I've done that a time or two myself, using single-hole punches.
ReplyDeleteYou rocked all these challenges with your fabulous cards, Hannelie! I love the manly birthday card design with the inside-out giraffe coloring! Very cool idea, my friend! And your second design is so fun with the repeated sediment inside the circle and the giraffe colored in primary colors! Thank you so much for playing in Twofer Card Challenge #15! Hugs, Darnell
ReplyDeleteThese giraffes are so cool! I love the design and how you've used them on your cards, Hannelie! LOVE the masculine card with the splotches of shades of brown for the background. And your fun "What's Up" card is bright and happy with the primary colours. Two fantastic designs! Thanks for playing along with us at Twofer Card Challenge!
ReplyDeleteLove your beautiful cards !! Gros coup de cœur pour la 1ère !! ♥
ReplyDeleteBises ♥
Winner Winner Chicken dinner!! LOVE these cards!!! GREAT design!
ReplyDeleteGreat cards. Love how you applied the colours on the geometrics. Thanks for playing along with us at CAS Colours & Sketches this week. Looking forward to seeing your creative projects in the future galleries again.
ReplyDeleteHannelie! Your card is stunning! I love both of the cards. Love the colours and layout you chose! Thank you for playing along with CC&S challenge!
ReplyDeleteAs usual, Hannelie - awesome cards! Love the inky background on the first card. Great use of the colors for the second. Thanks for playing along with us at CC&S!
ReplyDeleteI have to say that your first card has really blown me away. The idea to use giraffe colors abstractly, and then stamp over them with your giraffe stamps is really brilliant. I absolutely love this card. CAS, and wonderful. And how cool to use primary colors on your second card?!! Those three dots finish this off perfectly, too. We won't even talk about the sentiment...just right, though!! Great cards, my friend. Thanks so very much for joining us at the Twofer Challenge!! Bev
ReplyDeleteThese are Super cards, I love the giraffe. A Wonderful entry card for our challenge, great stamp and background. Thank you so much for joining us in our Anything Goes/ One Layer challenge at The Male Room this week. Looking forward to see you again next challenge.
