Today, we're checking out another one of my "Last Thursdays" class cards featuring the adorable elephant in the Henry Says stamp set!
This set is terrific for all sorts of occasions—fun, fun, fun!
CASEd from Amy Storrie from StampedWithJoy.com.
You've probably noticed that I don't create a lot of whimsical cards, but how could I resist Henry?! He's too cute! This is a fun birthday card design that is delightful for any age!
I layered a 2" x 4" piece of the rainbow striped Sunshine & Sprinkles Designer Series Paper onto a 5-1/4" x 4" piece of Lucky Limeade card stock. After tying some Marina Mist Striped Organdy Ribbon around the layers, I adhered it to the Whisper White card base.
Henry The Elephant is all decked out in plaid…Beyond Plaid, that is!
I stamped the plaid image several times on Whisper White card stock, then stamped Henry in Basic Gray over the top and cut it out.
After stamping the elephant again on a 4" x 3-1/4" Whisper White piece, I added the colorful pennants image, colored with Pacific Point, Lucky Limeade and Melon Mambo markers directly on the rubber. Then, I adhered the plaid cut-out over the top with Dimensionals. Notice the tip of the tail is represented by the image underneath.
Don't forget (because an elephant never does) to add the birthday hat in Pacific Point.
The card is finished off with the 2" x 1" plaid banner stamped with the birthday sentiment, layered on another 2-1/4" x 1/2" Melon Mambo banner.
The second version features the trio of cute birdies instead of the pennants.
Awww! Sweet tweets!
