Since I already had a baby girl card in my stash basket I decided to do a baby boy card. I die cut the elephant then layered it onto some vellum and then kraft c/s. Paper is from Echo Park -Bundle of Joy. I stamped the sentiment in rich cocoa memento ink, then added a couple of enamel hearts.
The elephant did not have an 'eye', so I pulled out my tiny hole punch and since I have not emptied the punch in a while I was able to find a pre-punched black dot. I also added a pop dot behind the ear to lift it up a bit.
Finished off with some ribbon and lace. I will list the supplies I used below.
Have a fabulous day!

This is darling, Pauline! I love the minty colors, pp, and great border treatment for your sediment! Great job finding a black hole for the eye in the punch catch all!! Hugs, Darnell
Baby cards steal my heart every time! This is just way too adorable, Pauline, and a good idea to have in your stash. For the card order I recently finished she wanted two baby cards -- boy and girl -- and needed those in December. Luckily I had one of each already made. Gee, now I'm thinking I need to replenish. Not a chore at all! LOVE the paper on this, and that darling ellie and ribbon and trim. I, too, occasionally go to my hole punches to find those little dots. Ack, the little hearts are too cute, as well. I just love everything about this!
EEE! Precious! I just love baby cards Pauline, yours is so well composed right down to that pretty satin ribbon!
Absolutely beautiful!! I love the paper and the little elephant is so cute... Love how you matched the ear to the BG and a beautiful ribbon the finish too!
What an adorable elephant, perfect for a baby card. I like the sketch you used, the papers and over all adorable baby card.
On a side note, the deer you changed the picture on the top of your blog is beautiful. what an awesome picture, you took that or your hubby I presume? Very cool and majestic picture. :-)
