Hello friends and Happy Saturday!
Lots of things going on around here today ... the big Firestone Golf Tournament is this weekend and that's only a couple of miles from our house so we will be seeing the blimp over head all day covering that event!
Daughter is doing an even called the Headwater Adventure Race which involves running, bicycling and kayaking. She amazes me with her drive for good health & mental wellness! Such an inspiration to others!!
As for me, I had such a fabulous day with my granddaughter (Morgan) the other day that I was inspired to create the following card. Great Grandbaby Charlie is due in October! Mo's not having an easy pregnancy so if you would, please keep her (and Charlie) in your prayers.
Morgan (aka MO) has decided on an elephant motif ... well really, more the colors here with and elephant or two thrown in LOL. Anyways, I purchased this adorable Stampendous stamp/die set a few weeks ago and just couldn't wait to create using it.
Isn't it adorable??
The background designer paper I've used is from the Doodlebug 'At the Zoo' 6x6 paper pack. My sentiment is a die by Sue Wilson called 'It's a Boy'. I die cut it twice that overlapped to give a shadow effect.
My matting circles are from the Tutti Designs 'Scalloped Stitched Nesting Circles' die set.
After popping up my adorable elephant using dimensional tape, I've added a few pearly drops using Nuvo Gloss White Crystal Drops for embellishment.
I'm sure you'll be seeing more cards using this adorable image in the future.
Another peek ...
Hope you enjoyed today's share!
Now, I'd better get some 'real' work done ... LOL!
