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.

I had to mess with Pat and tell him that your hubby browses the inspiration site with you because he definitely doesn't!
Love the cute elephant card, such great texture and the stitching looks nice.
