Hope everyone's having a terrific week!This is just a fun little card using Elly and Friends. I actually had this card sitting on my craft area for the longest time. I couldn't figure out how I wanted to finish it off. Do you ever do that?
I really wanted to stamp Elly onto a fun patterned paper. She's just a delight to paper piece! :)
For some fun texture, I ripped my cardstock to give it a natural feel. And to help her "remember", I gave her a little string on her nose. Heehee! Elephants never forget though!
I think my own crafty downfall is using black or brown to do my supplemental highlighting. I just can't use other colors it seems! I just love the way it brings out the color though! :)
I also own a LOT of black cardstock (thanks to my favorite crafty roommate who made a scrappy book for a friend of hers). At least I think that's where the black cardstock came from...
Stamps: Elly and Friends (Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps)
Paper: PTI (Aqua Mist, New Leaf, Everyday Blessings)
Ink: Pallette Noir
Accessories: Ribbon (Offray), Tag Punch (EK Success), Border Punch (Martha Stewart)
I have a friend who always uses black on every card, it really sets it off nicely. The Elly looks great in paper piecing. Hope the string helps.
ReplyDeleteThis is just so cute!
