SweetCynthy Color Crafts: Adorable Elephant

Hello, my friends! Today I will be showing a Thank You card that I recently made featuring a super cute elephant stamp from MFT. This chubby guy makes a great focal piece for all sorts of cards, but I decided I wanted to use the cute sentiment that goes with him.

The Sweet Safari stamp set comes with these cute leaves, so I decided to add some little flowers to the design that surrounds him. You gotta watch me carefully sometimes - I will add flowers to anything and everything I can! But I just really like them, and also the bright strawberry color, so there they are :-)

Here you can see that I popped up the elephant, the flowers, and a few of the leaves. I love adding dimension, and when you have clusters it really helps separate the elements so that you don't have a "pile" of stuff on your card. I also added a layered circle frame under the elephant to draw your eye to him. Another common trick of mine is to make a couple of cards at the same time - since all the supplies are already out, it's super easy to duplicate! Here I made the same card again, only I added some little blue flowers that I had on hand.
