I have a friend that needs a little love and support right now.
I made this card a few days ago for the SUDSOL Chat & Challenge that I host once or twice a month. If you are not a member you should be even if it is just to do the Chat & Challenges because we have A TON OF FUN!!! It was crazy how much fun we were having this time thinking of new sentiments we KNOW we need but probably would NOT fly with the world of Stampin' Up! HAHA! The funny part was is they are techniques and terms we use all the time! but if you use it in the form of a sentiment... yeah.... LOL
But I designed the sketch a few days before my friend needed a serious hug... so a couple of days later I came up with this card for her. I actually used the "Under the big top" stamp set from the MDS. I printed out the sentiment and the elephant to make them larger than what they would be on the normal stamp set and went from there. I used the Big Shot to make the 3 7/8 circle, and the wonderful scallop circle that goes along with it. I also used the Decorative Label punch for the sentiment as well. I used Tempting Turquoise, Real Red and Daffodil Delight Stampin' Write Markers to color the ball and the star. However I was not getting what I wanted from the Basic Grey marker so I went ahead and got out the blender pen and the Watercolor Crayons for the elephant. My friend also LOVES pink! So I had to make sure to give the elephant Regal Rose toe nails.
Well I must be off to bed! Have a good rest of your week everyone!!
Until next time my friends!
