When I see an Elephant fly


This card is too funny, with the poor elephant flying through the air all bug-eyed! I tried a few different things out with this card and will admit I don't think all of the features belong together. 

My background was created using Distress Oxide Inks and a stencil cloud border created with Lawn Fawn cloud die. My balloons are also from Lawn Fawn and are in the 'party balloon' die set. My first mistake was the water colouring of the balloons for this card. The colours are not as vibrant as the background and visibly just do not belong. 

My elephant is from WPlus9 ' unforgettable' stamp set and I also water coloured him. The watercolour just doesn't belong here on this card, but maybe on a more soft toned background. 

Well, you always have to learn new things, so I think I learned my lesson on this one! 

I used my Cricut machine to cut out the Happy Birthday sentiment out of white cardstock, and the stamped sentiment is from WPlus9 stamp set 'unforgettable'.



Purrfect Purrthday

Celebrating a very happy purrthday with the kitties during this lockdown. I will always have my furry friends to celebrate with even though it may seem lonely.

Here is my card using a Mama Elephant stamp set and a fun paper design. 



Stay safe and healthy out there!
