DH and I both really enjoyed looking through Greenheart for the IC this morning. I thought the little felt birdhouses were utterly desirable, but it was this Ellie Pooh notebook that inspired me on the card-making front. DH liked the one on the left best, with the yellow sky, but I certainly don't have an elephant-bum stamp.
I made this bigger than normal so as not to cramp my scene, and was lucky to find a sheet of the same textured brown card that I'd cut the tree from to use for my base, which is 5" x 7".
Orange and blue papers are from my stash, the tree is some Basic Grey. I diecut a grass border for behind the river and freehand cut a tussock of grass for in front of the tree, and sponged them both with forest moss. After adding the grass and tree I stitched round the orange card with brown thread, and then added the tree, elephant and sun.

Sabrina, what a delightful card in "crayon box" colors. Love the scene with the blue elephant you created. Would make a wonderful card for a child especially.
