Guess what!?!?!?! It's Tuesday, so it's a great day for a challenge over at Celebrate the Occasion. This week's theme is Father's Day. Here's what I came up with:
So, I have to say that I'm not super crazy about this card. It doesn't really go together, or something. My idea behind this card is that it's for my husband...it represents a sort-of inside joke between him and our daughters. The big gray elephant is supposed to be him, and the two smaller ones represent the girls. The problem is that I made the little elephants in pastel colors, thinking it would be good since they are girls. Well, then I couldn't really make the card very masculine since I had the pastels on there. I told you I'm not great at making masculine cards! Anyway, at least I think my hubby will get a chuckle out of this card. The inside is going to say "Even when you're making elephant noises" which is my hubby's and daughter's code phrase for going #2. Strange idea for a Father's Day card, maybe, but my girls think it's funny, and my hubby will, too, and that's all that matters. :o)
This is an A2 size card. The elephants are from Birthday Bash, and the bows are from Once Upon a Princess. The sentiment is from Pink By Design's Our Fathers stamp set. I added a little ribbon (no bows this time), and my little card was all done. I hope you like it!
So, now it's time for you to head on over to Celebrate the Occasion to see what the other Design Team members created. Then, you can join in on the fun, yourself. I can't wait to see what you come up with! Thanks for stopping by today!

ReplyDeleteThis card is adorable!!! I love the elephants. I really love when there is a story behind a card. I don't think a card has to always be masculine specially if it is from little girls:) Great job!
