This week over at Hand Stamped Sentiments, they are having a clean and simple challenge (fun!), which I paired with the color challenge over at Just Add Ink (JAI84), where we are to use Whisper white and a color of choice. I LOVE LOVE LOVE Crumb Cake (can't get enough of it) so after stamping my sweet little elephant in Versa Mark, I then heat embossing the image with Clear Embossing powder for a subtle impression. I added a piece of coordinating ribbon off to the side and stamped my Congratulations sentiment in Basic Black, from the RETIRED Well Scripted stamp set. I also corner rounded the edges to soften the card a bit. I love making simple cards to celebrate people, a new job or a new little life in this case. A childhood friend is pregnant with her fourth child and I remember her bed being surrounded by stuffed elephants, which is why I chose our stout little friend.

How cute and sweet. I love that you embossed the elephant with clear powder....just enough to make him pop. Your friend will love it. Crumb cake is a nice choice, especially if you don't know the gender. Thank you for joining us at Hand Stamped Sentiments.
I am a Crumb Cake obsessor too:) Love the versa mark, subtle but definitely makes a statement on the card. She will love receiving this. Thank you for joining us at Hand Stamped Sentiments this week.

I love the choice of color!!! Crumb cake....who would thought!! Your friend will LOVE it!!! It's so nice to see a different angle then going "green" when you don't know the gender. Great job!!! Thank you for participating on HSS!!! Amy
