I have one calendar year flower set and it didn't include gladioli. I might have been able to sneak a day lily in, but instead I looked up animals associated with faithfulness and went with an elephant - it's been a long time since I used this little sweetie from Serendipity Stamps.
The background was an experiment on glossy card; I masked off the bottom and stamped the bamboos twice in gold, then sponged in the foreground. Fussy-cut the elephant from watercolor paper. Heat embossed the sentiment. Matted onto gold card and then a dark wine red base for extra cookies maybe...

Love that sweet little elephant dancing (prancing?) in the bamboo plants. I really like the framing in gold and red, which really compliment the background.

VERY COOL background and I love the fun elephant and greeting, Sabrina. I want to make something like that background. I have no bamboo stamps but I am going to try! Into my faves. Hugz

Love this whimsical little elephant. As they say - elephants never forget. I do like the way you have created a special little tropical background - it finishes off the card so nicely.
