Jumbo Wishes

Elephants seem to be a poplular animal for stamps recently.   I've seen them around in all sorts of poses so I was pretty excited when Lili of the Valley added an elephant to their last release as part of the Faraway friends set.

I decided to do something a little different and stamped Jumbo and made it into my background paper.   I stamped the sentiment to form a strip and backed it in a bit of scrap grey I managed to find, as grey it seems,  is not a colour I have much of.  As I had coloured the flowers red I felt I needed to bring it in somewhere else. I ended up with some feet poking out so stamped and fussy cut another elephant to pop on top.   Finishing touch was to add the two flowers like Jumbo was carrying in his trunk.



This was a really fun card to make.  Thanks for dropping in.
