Little Ellie - Die Cut Divas

 Last day of the month and time for our final post with Elizabeth Craft Designs as our sponsor at Die Cut Divas. 

Our theme has been - Use your favourite dies....

Today I am share a cute as little Ellie die from ECD.

I used Gina K Master Layouts to cut my patterned paper and it's matching layer.  And I love my doily dies... this one is from My Favorite Things - Dainty Duo Doilies.  The ECD Elephant die is adorable.  I did have to google the video from ECD to see how to put it together.  In the end it was super easy.    The sentiment is from ECD- Happy Birthday collection.  Stamped in black ink and clear embossed 

An Elephant for my Grandson.

I was sad to see my daughter, son in law and grandson fly home on Sunday.  I decided to make him a little elephant card to take with him.

I recently got this little Elephant die from Elizabeth Craft Designs.  It's so cute.  I cut the pieces out of white card stock ad used some Weathered Wood distress ink to colour the elephant and some Victorian Velvet distress ink for the ears.  Archie loves elephants and balloons and the colour orange.    I die cut the Balloon from orange card stock.  The die is also an Elizabeth Crafts Design.  I used a sentiment from an ECD stamp set.    The background is some marbled Patterned Paper.  My daughter gave him the card at the airport and he loved it.

I'm sharing this over at Virginia's Show and Share this month.

 

 

thanks for stopping by. 

Belated Birthday elephant

My mind has been letting me down.... I missed my friend's birthday on the 3rd so  quick belated birthday card for her.... thanks to the cute elephant from Wplus9 and the cute sentiment that went with it.

I started by sponging Distress Oxides inks - Shaded Lilac, Broken China and Crushed Pistachio and added some stars in Worn Lipstick and Delicata Gold.  Stamped and die cut the elephant and balloon and coloured with my Prismacolor pencils.  Added a bit of glossy accents to the balloon.

I must make myself a better list of the birthdays so I won't have to make belated birthday cards.  

It's June First!
