Teddy Bo and Bea and a Giraffe

Good Evening

I hope you've enjoyed the Easter Weekend.

The current challenge over at Teddy Bo Challenge is Spring has Sprung.  Here is my card:

As soon as I saw this image at Teddy Bo and Co I knew that resistance was futile, I LOVE giraffes!

The image is coloured with Spectrum Noirs, Promarkers and Coloursoft pencils.  This was matted onto some gold linen then yellow card.  I embossed some Core'dinations card using a Darice woodgrain embossing folder and then sanded it slightly.  This was then matted onto black cardstock.  I punched a strip of Core'dinations with my Martha Stewart rabbit punch, then created the flowers using various floral punches and 'typical' spring colours.

I took an 8 x 8 card onto which I matted the adorable backing paper which was from a Making Cards magazine.  I used an EK success punch on some cream and pale blue paper and used the outline from the cream and butterflies from the blue, to produce the decoration for the top corner.

I couldn't leave out Teddy Bo and Bea so they are 'hiding' on the inside of my card:

I took a second 8 x 8 card to create the middle and lined it with Embossed Core'dinations card for the tree trunk and owl backing paper for the sides.  The pansies are Build A Blossom from La Pashe.

I would also like to enter my card in the following challenges:
