I was inspired by the family of elephants and immediately reached for this Altenew die cut set. I cut all of the elephant layers and added gray sponging around the edges to create soft dimension and definition.
Next I cut the designer paper layers from the stack of paper I am working to use up this year, adding green matting to coordinate with the colors in the scene. I placed the elephants on a white mat, added the same green matting, and layered everything onto the designer paper panels.
To finish the card, I stamped the Mother’s Day sentiment, die cut it with a label die, and popped it up on dimensionals for a clean and elevated look.
Thank you for stopping by to see my card today. Your thoughtful comments are always appreciated. If you leave a note, a visit to your blog will follow.
