I hope you have been enjoying your weekend. I have had a difficult week with lots on at work combined with a reaction to some antibiotics which has left me feeling pretty grotty. Thank goodness for a bank holiday weekend and some family time! It is half term for the kids so although I am not off with them, life will be a bit simpler next week :)
Unsurprisingly, I haven't been particularly creative over the past few days so only have this card to share with you:
This card is loaded up with Hero Arts goodness including the sweet elephants, palm die and sentiment. Even the stencil lightly inked in blue in the background is Hero's tweed stencil!
I stamped the elephants on grey card and added a bit of pencil shading - it was a cheat's way of colouring :) The palm die cut was cut twice with the slightly darker green just visible to provide a bit of definition. The Happy die cut is stacked up several times to provide a bit of substance.
This will be the perfect card for my youngest to give to Dad on father's day in June.
I will link up at Addicted to CAS where the code word is Animal, at the May Anything Goes Challenge at A2Z Scrapbooking and at the die cuts and punches challenge over at Happy Little Stampers.
Thanks for stopping by! I hope to be back with more to share soon :)

ReplyDeleteThose elephants are so cute and perfect for a child to give his Dad. I think adding color to color is a great way to go, not at all cheating. ;)
