A Valentine's Day card for my niece who is in Rome for a semester studying abroad and currently very homesick. Wanted to send her something that conveyed lots of love and support for her as she adjusts.
Stamped and colored the Mama Elephant image. Added "sentiment" from CAS-ual Fridays. Die cut focal image, plus an extra "blank" for dimension. Matted to black panel and assembled card, using Bazzill cardstock and a small scrap of DSP that I had saved. (Again, cut a "blank" for under the background for added dimension. Finished it off by using the glitter pen on the hearts and die cutting a small heart from glitter cardstock to make it look like the bear is trying to stuff one more heart into the box.
Submitting this for this week's CAS challenge, too.
C - Cardstock
O - Hugs (in XOXOXO...)
L - Love Theme
D - Die Cuts
TFL!

Absolutely precious. I sure hope this comforts your niece. Being homesick is a terrible thing.
