Sending Big Hugs

I'm up on the Crafty Doodle Chick blog today with my weekly post and some color inspiration for the current Paw-fect challenge - It's All About the Girls.

I love so many stamps and dies from Lawn Fawn available at the Crafty Doodle Chick store, and I used lots on this card!

I wanted to give you a little inspiration for the current challenge (It's All About The Girls), which will end on Saturday 26 May 8pm EST. I have a sketch for you to try out too if you feel this would be an added inspiration.

 I started by stamping the elephant from the 'slow down and enjoy' stamp set and colored it with my prismacolor pencils. I used the add-on die to cut out the 'bookmark' from pink cardstock, adhering the elephant on top. If using it as a bookmark, remember to not stick the legs down, allowing you to prop it over the page (or the sentiment banner in this case). I added some bakers twine to the top of the bookmark. 

As the bookmark will be removed by the recipient, I wanted something behind it.

I added a green tag behind the bookmark, and added a birthday sentiment from the 'slow down and enjoy' stamp set. The banner sentiment is also from the same set.

The papers are from Lawn fawn and I used a scalloped border die for a little interest to the design. 

You'll find these products in the Crafty Doodle Chick store:
