Elephants were what first came to mind for Lisa's MMTPT629 CHEER challenge. And then I realised that a square card would incur extra postage when mailed over in the US, so I sent that yesterday to someone else, but will pull another card from my stash so that I can send two to Send A Smile Today.
I made the square card first - coloured with Polychromos, Stickles on the bubbles. Found the dotted DP and then managed to rustle up something close enough for the scalloped heart. I crimped a strip of pearlescent cream card and added raffia over it.
For the second card, I always struggle with this rainbow because it doesn't have enough stripes, so this time I made my rainbow stripes sideways across it. There are Enamel Accent dots on the toadstool, I added SN clear glitter pen over the rainbow, a silver pen in the clouds on the stamped image, and a white gel pen to outline all the embossed clouds. I added an MFT grass border for my little hedgie (Cottage Cutz) to walk along. Image panel and sentiment are matted on silver card.

Both are adorable, Sabrina! Love the little elephant, but the heggie is always my favorite! The rainbow is perfect colored sideways! That certainly solved the stripe problem! LOL!

Both are lovely, cheerful cards. Always interesting to see where one's mind goes first. Mine did not go to either raffia, crimping or elephants. I wish it had.

Oh my goodness Sabrina these are so adorable and just perfect for the challenge. You made 2 cards with the letters and I am so impressed. That little elephant is just too cute.

That darn postage! Imagine what would be flying around if it was much less!
Both cards are very cute. I like the different color you used with the elephant..like a light terra cotta or dark peach...at least that is how it is reading here. Pretty with the blue elephant.
