An Elephant ~ Just For You!

Did you think I was really going to give you an elephant?  Why, yes I am!  
I hope this card  brings a smile to your face.
 I made it for the current challenge going on over at Color Throwdown Color Challenge
The purple color I used is a bit more muted than the color on the  inspiration photo but hopefully it will pass muster.
I used dies from Marianne Designs (Elephant), Echo Park (Palm Leaves) and Altenew (Balloon ~ Birthday Greetings).
I'll also be adding this card to the following challenges:
AAA Cards ~ Die Cuts Only (except for the sentiment, it's all die cuts)
Word Art Wednesday ~ Anything Goes

Thanks for stopping by!

Thank you! I always wanted an elephant! When our oldest daughter was little, she really could not understand why we couldn't get one! This is just so adorable, Birgit!

Well yes, I was kinda hoping for an elephant, because like Donna I've never received one before either! He is just too cute holding his balloon and looks fabulous with all the colors you used! And who thought a floral inspiration photo would inspire such an adorable card like this...love it!! Well done my friend!! :0)
