It's Irrelephant!

We're going wild this week at Stampendous with some awesome Dreamweaver stencils and some great stamps!  Today I have a card with a little bit of Indian spice and lots of stuff that's nice!  Here's my card:

Here's what I used to create this card:

Stampendous® Dreamweaver Stencil DWLG756 Open Elephant

Stampendous® Wild Sayings Perfectly Clear™ Stamps

Stampendous® Dreamweaver Regular Embossing Paste

DecoArt® Americana® Antique Gold Acrylic Paint

Memento Teal Zeal Ink by Tsukineko

Tim Holtz® Distress Ink in Pumice Stone by Ranger®

My Mind's Eye® Indie Chic™ "Nutmeg" 6x6 Designer Patterned Paper Pad

Neenah® Classic Crest™ Solar White Cover Stock

Candy Necklace Cardstock by Bazzill Basics Paper®

May Arts Ribbon®

Zip Dry Paper Glue by Beacon Adhesive

Scrapbook Adhesives® 3D Foam Mounting Squares by 3L®

Assorted Micro Beads - Gold

Self-Adhesive Pearl by Want2Scrap™

Here's what I did to create this card:

Mix some regular white paste with a squirt of gold paint and a pinch of beads for some fun texture

Paste emboss stencil with mixture directly onto trimmed patterned paper, set aside to dry

Create A2 card base with a tent fold from blue cardstock

Trim bottom layer of designer paper 

Stamp sentiment on scrap of white paper with blue ink and add distress ink

Trim a mat for sentiment and adhere sentiment to mat

Cut two strips of ribbon

Once paste has dried, adhere elephant to bottom patterned paper and wrap ribbons around as shown covering edges

Adhere these layers to card base

Add foam squares to sentiment and attach to card over ribbon

This was a fun card to create, I like the effect of the micro beads and will add those to future pasted projects for sure.  Just something different! Here's a list of my teammates that have more wild animals to share with you:
