Birthday Elephant Whimsical Card!

7/29/2019

Saw the Just Us Girls Challenge first and was happy I have one adorable elephant stamp here in Florida.  Then, I saw the Just Add Ink challenge and thought I could create one card for both challenges!  Simple, right???  Wrong!!!
Picture
Ultimately, I'm very happy with the vision I had for this card design.  I'm always talking about the process of designing a card and where the journey takes me.  This one almost threw me for a loop because of the tilted square!  The size of the elephant really posed some interesting challenges, but that's part of participating in challenges that "challenge" me!

After hours of pondering and playing with different ideas for the tilted square, I decided to create a pocket to make it interactive.  The little bow is packaging from a local boutique!
Picture
Another challenge I placed upon myself was to use as many papers in the 6x6 Cupid Reverse Confetti paper pad as I could!  Why?  I don't know, just for the fun of it.  I love 6x6 paper pads because every paper goes together!  Here's a photo of the pulled tag.  Maybe I'll fold some cash behind the tag for a gift!

Supplies Used:
Stamps:  Ella & Friends Stamps & Dies (Mama Elephant), Framelets w/Stamps (Stephanie Barnard - Sizzix)
Papers:  Cupid 6x6 Paper Pad (Reverse Confetti), Hammermill Color, Copy, Cover, Strathmore Watercolor
Accessories:  Tombows scribbled on acetate and water colored, Deep Iris Crisp Dye Ink (Alt&New), Hearts Die Strip (A Muse Studio), Foam Mounting Squares (Scrapbook Adhesive), ScorTape (ScorPal), Zig Two-Way Glue (Kuretake)


Thanks for Stopping By!

XOXO
