Just Us Girls #772 ~ It's Birthday Time!


Hi there! It's time for a new challenge at Just Us Girls. Ina is hosting stencil week for us. 
I made a playful card for a first birthday. Take a look...
 

The DeNami polka dot elephant was stamped using PTI's Berry Sorbet Ink. I cut it using a die from TMS and popped it up with foam circles. My stenciling was done using Citrine ink. That's a hard one to photograph. It shows up more yellow than green! Some sweet PTI printed Berry Sorbet paper was added along with a fun banner (Poppystamps) for the sentiment.

Now I'm on the hunt for a cutie little elephant toy of some kind to go with the card. I like to match the card to the gift! I look forward to seeing your stenciled works of art in our gallery this week. You know you have a stencil or two to choose from!

A little elephant stuffie would be adorable to go with this darling card! Love the colors and the pretty stenciled background. A sweet baby-size scalloped edging, too. I miss making baby cards. There aren't many new babies in my circle of friends and family, sigh.
