Mama Elephant

No, I haven't grown to the size of an elephant! Mama Elephant is a stamp company I told you about last year. I was lucky enough to win a gift voucher and I purchased 2 stamp sets and I tell ya, these sets are awesome! They ink up beautifully e.ver.y time. Every time people! Even better than some other well known brand ones I have. Also the sayings are really modern and up-to-date (including Gangham style - that's how up-to-date they are). I find myself using their cute little sayings a lot. There are a couple more sets I want but am holding off.....maybe until I can win another gift card with my brilliant creation??????

Here's the aforementioned brilliant creation:

The challenge was a sketch challenge and it actually came together pretty fast (for me anyway).
So fast that I ended up making two more of the same card (in under an hour total for 3 cards). I could've made 4 cards in total with only 2 sheets of A4 patterned paper and white cardstock but I started the first card from a scrap piece. That's 3 more cards for my card stash. As I was putting them away I looked at them and thought: I wish I had popped the top pennant up on foam tape. I could re-stamp the pieces and add them on top.....if I could be bothered. I'll let you know if I ever do.

Here's the details:
