Baby Elephant


I bought this Woodware stamp at Ally Pally and thought it was time I used him. He is a great stamp for paper piecing. We all have so many odd pieces of paper and I do throw a lot away as I will never use them all. However I keep a small stack of some mainly for banners and paper piecing. The other papers are First Edition It's a Boy. The sentiment is part of the stamp set and I added some lace, flowers, brads, buttons, baker's twine and pearls. I found the little blue elephant button in my collection, wasn't that a lucky find.

Challenges
Deep Ocean flowers 
Cute Card Thursday add a brad (metallic brads in centre of flowers) 
Di's Digis load on the flowers 
Natalie and Amy animals 
Scrap and Craft lace and pearls

How sweet is he? Pretty papers too, like you I have a huge stack that I can't part with, will have to get to grips with it soon and use some of it up. Love the button and flower embellishments and the scattered pearls too.

Kat W said...

I am always unsure whether to keep scraps or throw them away...for me it depends on how much I like the papers...if I love them I keep every last scrap!

Paper piecing is a great way to use the scraps and this stamp was just made for paper piecing - he looks fab!

The gorgeous clusters of flowers, buttons and pearls finish the card beautifully...not forgetting that uber cute elephant button!

Big hugs, Kat xx
