This card was very tedious to make but turned out pretty good I think. I do not have square punches this size so I had to measure and cut each one. Ugh! I could have made it a square card and then would have been able to use my square punch but I don't have any square envelopes. So I made the squares smaller and positioned them more toward the top which left an area for the ribbon at the bottom. And how about that pink elephant?! All elephants should be pink I think. I paper pieced him to match the DP. Too cute!
Supplies:
CS- SU: Pretty in Pink, WW
DP- Making Memories
Image- SU: Just Celebrate
Ribbon- Michael's

This is so darling! It has an old-fashioned quilt feeling but still contemporary. Is there anything cuter than a pink-polka dotted elephant? Nah! Great job!!
