This card was completed for Inspiration Challenge 185 based on Bugaloo baby shoes. The middle photo had a pic of an elephant on the shoes (if I had a baby I would SO be buying these!) As I love all things elephant, that was my inspiration for this baby card.
It was pretty simple and easy to make - fifteen minutes from start to finish. The blue elephant in the center is a Martha Stewart punch. I added a little rhinestone to its eye for a touch of bling. (I tried running a marker around the tip of the ear for added effect, but it didn't look right so I started over.) I scored the top and bottom with two lines which framed the 1/4" grosgrain ribbon for a hint of texture. The sentiment is from Stampin's Up!'s Teeny Tiny Wishes which is coming out in there new catalog next month.
Thank you all for looking at my card. Have a good weekend.
