Thank You!!

Hello again! Over at http://www.creativetimeforme.com/ Emma's Throwback Thursday this time is Zooballoo cartridge! Now I was excited until I tried to decide what cut to use. There are soooo many awesome cuts on this cart. Then I decided on the elephant and doing a shape card. Now, I haven't made a shape card in a good long while. I decided I would use the shadow feature for my card itself and have it open at the bottom instead of the top. I couldn't get it to line up right at the top! Then I cut the regular elephant feature and used the hide contour and hid the features for the inside piece. Then I did the ears and trunk. Hid each so I could cut colors. Cut 2 each of these (so I could do some popping up). Guess ya'll figured by now that I used my Gypsy. Yeah, I Did!! Used some blue pearls for the eyes. I then stamped 'Thank You' from 'My Pink Stamper's Family and Friends stamp set at the top. I didn't put anything on the inside. I will when I get ready to use the card for someone. Maybe will put 'for remembering me' or something like that. Hope ya'll like my card. This one was really fun to make! Ya'll have until Sunday, 7/11 at midnight CST to enter a creation. Come join the fun!! :)
