My card features this week's Freebie Friday image, Elephant topper, colored with Promarkers, by Bugaboo Stamps. I paired him with a fun mix of papers, as well as a grey embossed circleused as a pocket, for him to peek over the top of! All papers are from my stash. I went with a male birthday card, for this round, because its something I never seem to have enough of. The elephant image is attached to a tag that pulls up from the circle pocket. My sentiment is by Sentiments 4 You and punched with oval and scalloped oval punches. I used black pearls to embellish, and finished off with wiggly eyes for the elephant.

How about some more inspiration using this adorable little monster? You can find lots more inspiration at Catch The Bug! Oh, and please, leave the team some love while you're there! We love to hear your thoughts and comments!

My project today features new release, little monster, from Bugaboo Stamps, colored with Promarkers. I went with a combination of stripes and polka dots to create this fun male card. I used some new brads from Hobby Lobby, in two sizes, to embellish my card. The strip of frayed burlap is from Archivers. My card layout uses the Sketch at One Crazy Stamper.
