Pretty-N-Pink

Happy Hellos Everyone:

Like the elephant, card makers never forget birthdays. Okay, never is such a strong word. Rarely??? Okay, we try not to forget a birthday. As you may remember, I have the need to build up my birthday stash as I'm sure many of you run into the same situation from time to time--that is running low on birthday cards. I have a cute little card to share with you today. It's the perfect card for that birthday that just got away. It's as if I fell in love all over again. When I first came across this image I loved it--even before I saw a completed image. When I complete my card I fell for it all over again. Go figure.

Well, please take a look...

 

The image is from Mark's Finest Papers and I stamped to elephants and created a 3-D effect using dimensional separators. The camera didn't capture the elephant in the way I wanted it to. You'll just have to trust me when I say the elephant appears to leap off of the card. The textured paper in the background is actual elephant skin inspired. So, it really works well with this image. To top it all off, I think the pink ribbon is a wonderful touch. 

Well, as always, thanks for visiting The Peddler's Gallery and come back real soon.

Happy Hellos Everyone:

I realize Monday is just about over, but it appears as though I'll get my post in before Tuesday arrives. Once again it was another busy weekend. I sat down to accomplish a few things yesterday evening; and wouldn't you know it... I couldn't find anything that I needed until early this morning. Of course it was time to go to work, so I couldn't do any thing until I returned home this evening.

I had a nice suprise...okay, it wasn't a suprise. I knew it was coming. My PTI arrived today and it felt like Christmas. I can't wait to show you what I recieved. Today, I created with my stamps from Mark's Finest Paper. I shared a little with you a few postings back When I saw this set for first time, I immediately thought of my mom. Prior what she does for a living now, she was a seamtress and a tailor. Below are the two cards I created.

Believe it or not, I really love colors other than purple. I love when they all come together. If you're wondering what I used to create this effect, well, the Sew What Stamp Set is from Mark's Finest Papers, SU cardstock, Memento Ink, piercing tool, ribbon, scraps of DP, a little bling and a few buttons. Well, that's it. Thanks for stopping by The Peddler's Gallery and come back real soon.
