So I looked through my folders, and found one card I can share with you today. Hope you like it. :)
The green may look yucky in this photo, but it really looks like the green in the photo below...
Used some DCWV paper that I bought a long time ago - when the only paper lines I knew about was DCWV and Bazzil....ah, the dark ages. ;) As you can also see, my sewing machine is still broken, but in this case, I like the affect of the hand stitching.
Instructions: Trim card base and kraft centerpiece. Cut patterned papers out. Hand stitch glitter patterned paper near sides. Cut balloons out and cut/adhere strings to bottom. Stamp image, and trim. Tie balloon strings around elephant trunk. Adhere doily onto kraft centerpiece, than, using foam squares to separate each layer, adhere pink paper and glitter paper. than adhere elephant and balloons onto papers. Add alphabet stickers. Tie bow around card base, and top with embellished kraft centerpiece using foam squares.
Hope you had a nice weekend, and thanks for popping in!
