i got you babe

hey there!
i'm pretty sure i mentioned in my post earlier this week about how much i LOVE the inspiration photo for the current mama elephant challenge. 
LOVE.

here it is again, in all it's clean, simple, pops of color glory:

like i said, i could make 100 cards from that photo! and here is my 2nd card!

so fun, right? I LOVE IT!

i used a stencil and some embossing paste to create the background. and once the embossing paste was dry, i very carefully, used distress paints and painted on some color with a tiny brush to some of the trianges! 

the sentiment is from the true friend stamp set (BEST SENTIMENTS EVER) and i stamped it on vellum and then wrapped it around the base panel. 

the feathers...they're from the smitten stamp set! LOVE that chunky little feather! i used my sewing machine to attach the them.
i clear embossed it onto vellum and then use a craft knife to cut all the little notches! 

lots of detail work on this card! ha ha!
add a dash of circle wood veneers and the card is complete! i couldn't LOVE it more! i hope you do too!
enjoy!
