I love when I find inspiration in totally unexpected places ... like this bottle of Sun Bum Sunscreen from Uncle Dan's ... seriously, how cute is that yellow monkey face on the wood grain background.
I started with parquet wood grain paper from Studio Calico and added my own bit of yellow fun.
I die cut the elephant silhouette from yellow adhesive felt & then stamped my cute little Hero Arts ellie in brown. I used one of my brown Spectrum Noir markers to color the heart. The banner was die cut from coordinating cardstock and then stamped with a sentiment from Catslife Press ... love the combination of upper & lower case letters.
I hope you find some unexpected inspiration this week.

Awesome website, Stef, and your card is just as cute as can be just like that monkey! I love where your inspiration took you. That wood grain paper is amazing, as is your felt die cut and banner. Love it! Thanks for the challenge, too.

So CUTE card! Love that bkgrd woodgrain paper and your sweet, felt ellie. I don't have much luck stamping on felt. I must be using the wrong ink (Versamark/Stazon/PTI) cause it usually "bleeds."

Wonderful parquet paper as the bg to match the sun screen bottle. the monkey is really funny, I agree. So cute as a baby card with that adorable ellie!
