Here is the card that inspired me...the layout is the same, but I changed the colors to work for a 2 year old's birthday card. I love this little elephant from Stampendous...she just makes me smile! I omitted her flower and replaced it with the balloon from Mini Messages; then traced around with a black marker to coordinate with the rest of the image.
The patterned paper is from the Chasing Butterflies line by Daisy D's...I also used Daisy D's faux stitching tape runner - definitely my new fave thing! If you haven't used it before, it works like an adhesive tape runner or white out tape thing...just rolls on and leaves the faux stitching behind. So simple and quick!
