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.

    This image is adorable and you sure used the right little sentiment from that SU set! What a cutie and you've done him justice with your coloring and the beautiful DP and ribbons.
