Birthday Elephant

Hello stampers,
     Happy Thursday y'all! Today I have a cute punch art card to show, I've seen it online before but have never gotten around to making him. I got that chance at Kerri's class, YAY!
     The base of the card we used Pool Party Card Stock, followed by Whisper White Card Stock. On the white piece we sponged clouds using Pool Party Ink with a 2 3/8" Scalloped Circle Punch as a guide. Next, we fussy cut a piece of Wild Wasabi Card Stock to make it look like grass. Punches used to make the elephant were- 3/4", 1 1/4" & 1 3/8" Circle Punches, Butterfly Punch (cut in 1/2) & Bird Builder Punch. Balloon was made with 3/4" Circle Punch & Owl Builder Punch. After putting the elephant together we wrapped Whisper White Twine around the trunk before adhering it to the card stock, then tied a knot at the end & stuck it to the balloon. We stamped the sentiment from Petite Pairs onto Whisper White Card Stock with Marina Mist Ink, punched it out using the Decorative Label Punch & sponged around the edges using Pool Party Ink. I so need to get back to doing punch art!

~Enjoy
