Adorable Elephant



I am back with another {PIN}Spirational Challenges card.  With Valentine's Day later this week--I wanted to make a card with a love theme!

 
February 12-18
 
Here's the photo to inspire us:
 

 
Our sponsor this week is Floppy Latte's Digital Designs
 
 
Floppy Latte's Digital Designs  kindly provided digital images for this challenge.Isn't this elephant just the cutest image!  THANK YOU, Floppy Latte's

 
 
I used sheer pink ribbon with hearts on it and placed it over some pink velvet ribbon I have in my stash--I think it turned out well.  Then--I inked up one of my favorite Stampin' Up sentiment sets and used my oval punches for the layers.
