I had this idea of having this elephant from the new stamp set, Animal Stories, balancing a cupcake on his trunk. I don't think I'm too original there but I do love the way this turned out! This is my third and final swap for a WOW card swap I am in. I can't wait to see what swaps I get back! There's a lot of putzy elements on this card. I can't believe I made 11 of them! I did and I lived to tell the tale. The elephant ear and leg are stamped twice, cut out and popped up on stampin' dimensionals. The cupcake is stamped, colored, cut out, and popped up on a stampin' dimensional. The party hat is stamped, colored, cut out, and popped up on stampin' dimensionals. The scallop background is done by punching out 6 of the scallop squares and stacking them side by side to give a bigger mat.
