{PIN}spirational Challenge # 44


Welcome back to my blog!  I hope you are having a fantastic day!

 I have three posts for today, so please be sure to scroll up and see the other two for today.  We have the cutest image of two little giraffes today.  I struggled a bit with this one, but I pulled the love aspect out of it.  What a perfect week for love, since Valentine’s Day is just a few days away.  So the image for {PIN}spirational Challenges this week is very fitting!  Check it out!


Our sponsors this week:



Before I show you my creation, I have to share this fun picture I took at the Brevard County Zoo on vacation.  There were seven giraffes, but this one was very friendly and came right up to the platform so you could feed and pet her.  She was absolutely beautiful.  I never realized how tall they really are until I was that close.  Just gorgeous, huh?






Ok, now onto why you are here, the creation…

I am using the digi image Elmer the Love Struck Elephant generously provided by Floppy Latte.    I could think of so many uses for him, a baby card, love, friendship, you name it.   The image is printed on cryogen paper and colored with copics.  The background papers are by My Mind’s Eye and Inque..  Sticking with my recent obsession to not make regular cards, I made this one a side fold card.   I used a EK Success border punch to to add some girly-ness to the front. For the inside, I used a tag and continued my love theme by stamping a heart from Stamper’s Anonymous, Urban Chic in memento ink. The tag background is inked with spun sugar distress ink.




I have used the following copics:
Elephant:  W1, W3, W5, R00, R02
Hearts:  R81, R83, R85



Ok, now it is your turn.  How does this picture speak to you?  Come on over and show us at {PIN}spirational Challenges!  We would love to see your beautiful creations!
