A Walk On The Wild Side

Good Morning

Today's card is the second birthday card for my Dad. His birthday is at the end of the month.

I am entering this card into The CD Sunday Challenge Wild Thing

My card is made using the Jayne Netley Mayhew cd-roms from Joanna Sheen.

I printed off the image for the front of the card twice, so I could decoupage the baby elephants. They were matted onto some matt gold cardstock, then orange cardstock, and then onto some pale green cardstock of which I had punched around the edges using a Martha Stewart punch. The Happy Birthday was created using my alphabet stamps from Dimension Fourth. The H and B are cut out of a silvery-grey paper to tie-in with the elephant theme, and then the rest of the words were stamped using Big & Juicy Spice Ink pad.

For the middle of the card I printed out part of the shaped cards section from the cd-rom.

I glued the print-outs to card for extra stability and then cut everything out. I embossed the edges of some matt gold card using my Keepsake Borderfold embossing board, and then attached the shaped elephants to this. The elephants separate and there is a panel behind them for writing a message.

I hope you like this card. Thanks for your visit today.
