BIG Hugs.

I used Time for Tea Designs "You're Elephantastic", "Butterflies" and "Beauty sleep" stamp sets to make this wobbly elephant card. 


So first I stamped the elephant and the butterfly, Cut out some cloud shapes freehand and used M&C Boutique balloon alphabet dies (Brought from The Works) to cut out the word "hugs".


I then coloured them in using Spectrum Noir Tri-Blends. Ice grey blend for the elephant, brown-grey blend for his nails, pale pink blend for the balloons and the wings of the butterfly, Citrus blend and burnt orange blend (light side only) for the butterfly's body and wingtips and blue turquoise to outline the clouds.
I then stamped the "BIG" sentiment from the elephantastic stamp set onto the biggest cloud.


I cut a piece of blue/green ombre to the same size as my card blank. Using Hunkydory Moonstone circle nesting dies (any circle nesting dies will work) I cut out a circle from the Blue/green card and also a bigger (I went up 2 sizes) circle from a scrap piece of the same colour.  


I then used the little cloud from time for tea's "beauty sleep" stamp set and Hunkydory's prism "blue Lagoon" ink pad to add some little clouds to the background.


I wrapped one end of some pale pink cotton around the bottom of each balloon letter securing it at the back with a foam pad. I then cut around the elephant's hand so I could wrap the other end of the cotton around it again securing it with a small foam pad.
I stuck the "hugs" word down using more foam pads.
I then lined up the bigger circle behind the hole, put a foam pad in the middle and stuck the elephant onto the foam pad.
I then stuck foam pads to the back of the card leaving the bigger circle some wiggle room.
Foam tape would work better but I ran out as you can probably tell from the picture.


Then I added the clouds and butterfly. I put some of the clouds on foam pads for a bit of dimension.


I hope you liked this card. The stamps sets I used can be brought here
