Some dear friends of ours just had a baby boy, so I made this card for them. Don't ask me why, but when I first saw the elephant image in Patterned Occasions (get it FREE during Sale-A-Bration), I immediately thought "baby". Yes, yes, I know... the elephant stamp says "Thanks a ton!". So, I just cut out the elephant to isolate him from the sentiment and, bam, baby card.
I had to try out the beautiful sunburst technique that I have been seeing all over the internet, and I love the result. I chose to mix patterns and textures for the rays, using the Chevron TIEF, the Honeycomb TIEF, and the Brights DSP Stack. A bit of Midnight Muse sponged on the outsides of the rays creates definition.
Here's a close-up of the adorable elephant. A Basic Pearl colored with my Early Espresso Marker creates the perfect eye.
Hope you enjoyed today's card! See you tomorrow!
