precious little one


Hi Everyone!  I created this card yesterday to play along with the MOJO Monday 194 sketch challenge.  I always love the MOJO sketches.  I used the little Emery Plain Jane image and a sentiment from the To the Moon stamp set from Verve Stamps.  I used some patterned papers from My Mind's Eye's Alphabet Soup Boy line.  I stamped the elephant on a piece of patterned paper (I wanted him to resemble a stuffed animal), shaded it with copic markers and cut it out.  I sponged some antique linen, tea dye, and walnut stain distress inks on the edges of my cream cardstock and patterned papers. I finished off my card with some orange buttons, brown grosgrain ribbon, and some baker's twine.  I adhered my sentiment circle and elephant image with foam adhesive.


Hope you all have a wonderful weekend!  Thanks so much for stopping by!

Niki
