A big congrats to Mickey, the newest Featured Stamper! She has a wonderful gallery & I chose THIS card to case. I kept the layout & scalloped layers in gradient colors, but I used different images, dies, different colors & left off the embossing.
For my fairly easy card, after coloring the baby elephant & balloons, I die cut them & added fun foam to the ellie & 1 balloon, & cardboard to 1 balloon. The gradually darker pink layers were cut w/ a wave die (which had the scallops I wanted), attached to an ivory layer then die cut. I didnât stick the pink layers entirely down so theyâd have a little lift like Mickeyâs did. The greeting was stamped & some pink ribbon across the top, then the ellie & balloons. I separated a piece of black embroidery thread into 3 for the balloon strings & added a few pink gems.
Thanks so much for looking. It's on my blog w/ Copic colors & links:The Write Stuff

Adorable. Love your take on Mickey's great card. Hers is lovely and yours is total sweetness and fun. Great colors and your ellie is so cute. Great idea using a single strand of embroidery thread for the balloons. Wonderful card.
Julie, this is such a precious case of Mickey's card. I love that you created the scalloped layers like Mickey's. They are the perfect backdrop for that precious baby elephant.

I am so glad you cased this card, Julie! It caught my eye as well, but I don't have any edge dies that would work. That floating pink elephant is adorable!
