Hi! This card was made for today's Technique Lovers Challenge: Stacked Ribbon!
Okay, so I stack ribbon... a LOT! LOL! So, I decided to add an additional challenge to this one...Use a SAME colored mat on on another layer....I know, it sounds so confusing, but a friend of mine does it ALL the time, and I WANTED TO TRY IT!!! (It's the two Very Vanilla layers, in case you didn't notice.)
Elletha the Elephant was stamped 3 times and layered using the paper tole technique. She was stamped on Real Red, Very Vanilla and Dashing designer paper (retired-insert audible sob here!!!). The different layers were cut out and adhered with dimensionals. I added Signo pen dots to the ear, and stripes to the trunk and feet. I outlined the dp with markers!
The ribbons came from the Offray Outlet in Hagerstown, MD.
The center of the sentiment is a Build a Brad.
The circles were cut with the Coluzzle. The large Scallop is a Marvey punch.

Outstanding. I like the tone on tone paper together. It adds a bit more dimension. (as if your cards need dimension - LOL). Love the elephant with all his parts layered and colored. Just another wonderful card!

Hi Faith! Very cute card to add to your collection of cute cards ; )
My favorite parts to this card are: the Very Vanilla tone-on-tone layers. That adds softness and balances the vibrant colors, I think. And, I love the circular, signo "Faith dotted' sentiment with the build-a-brad. The sentiment really pops.
Even though they are my favorite parts, that's not to say that I don't like the other elements...it's a given that they are all fab! ...because it was all made by your artistic eye.
