Stampin With Julie: Little One

Sep 7, 2010

Little One

Good morning my friends! We had such a wonderful day yesterday it's going to be hard to get back into the old routine again - plus I'm just sad to see summer winding down! The girls and I did a bit of yard saling with a friend yesterday and had so much fun! Maybe a post a few pics of our treasures later in the week!

It's the 7th of the month so time for a brand new challenge from Tiffany Doodles!! It's your chance to play along with our challenge and perhaps win some awesome digi stamps!! You can see all the details and also see all of the dt cards by visiting Tiffany Doodles - you may even decide to pick up a cute digi or 2! ;) The challenge this month is a color challenge and here is our palette. If it's hard to tell the colors on your screen, they are pale pink, cream and pale green.

I used this adorable Elephant digi for my card and used it for a super sweet baby card. Why is it that we associate elephants and babies?? My hubby and I were wondering that last night - lol! I don't know, but this little guy is certainly cute! I printed it twice, once on my cardstock and once on the patterned paper which I then cut out. I did a bit of shading on "his" cheeks and around some lines using Copic markers. When it was time to adhere the pieced elephant I decided to cut out his ear and pop that up a bit with foam adhesive - I used 2 different widths to get it higher on the top and a bit closer on the bottom. It just is a bit of fun movement I think!

Oh and the sketch is Karen Giron's Sweet Sunday Sketch #84 - it took a bit of tweaking since the ellie is big but it still worked great and I love the simple sketch! (I'll add this 2nd pic which shows the cut out ear popped up a bit better.)

It's time now for you to visit the rest of the design team. Everyone's projects are so different and unique and of course, wonderful! When you're done, why not give the challenge a try? Thanks for visiting!
