Hi! This card was made for today's Inspiration Challenge, a room at Hotel Fox! I chose this room: Forums at Splitcoaststampers
Talk about a night that would make the most unhappy of people laugh....
I had a bit of a night ending with a hair pulling session...Me pulling my own hair... Speedy the Cat has run off with my Coluzzle Mat...I know it..I heard him snickering in the bathroom while I frantically searched for it!
So, to regain a bit of my sanity, I decided to stamp! Yeah! It worked...sort of...I still have smeared make-up and look a bit worse for wear...Not to mention the clumps of hair on the floor that I ripped out in frustration during this early morning's hasty search for the elusive Coluzzle Mat...
Ellie was stamped twice on Watercolor paper. I colored both images with markers and re-inkers, and used an aqua painter to blend the colors. I added highlights to her eyes, trunk and toenails with an Inkssentials pen.
The scallop and circles were cut with Nestibilities.
The white circle and strip were embossed with my new Cuttlebug embossing folder!
I added color to the primas with Classic Inks.
OH, NEWS>>>>> WALMART carries the fern punch, now!!! I found 10 at my local store!!! They are in the scrapbooking Martha Stewart Collection.

And you make ME smile. I love this happy card Faith.
I love that cute elephant and my cousin Nicky would simply go nuts over it. She loves elephants. She is very ill right now and the doctors are saying she will probably be in a wheel chair in a very short time.
I love the round part is reminds me of a rainbow and of course the pretty flowers with the fern treatments and brad centres.
