White Elephant

In 1949, Berhard Grzimek advertised and sold 1000 tickets to view a white elephant. April Fool's, he only painted a gray elephant white. There are no "white" elephants. Although, there have been a few gray/pink albino elephants. Here is the only way, I will ever see a white elephant. 

Stamps:

   Wild About You

   One of a Kind

Paper:

   Basic White A-2, 5-1/4 x 4 (2)

   Basic Black 5-3/8 x 4-1/8, 3-1/4" Sq.

Ink:

   Whisper White Craft

   Tuxedo Black Memento

Technique:

   Heat Embossing

   Die Cutting

Accessories:

   Stitched Shapes Framelits

   Embossing Buddy

   White Embossing Powder

   Halloween Night Washi Tape

   Dimensionals

   Adhesive

First, I prepped the Basic Black square for heat embossing by rubbing it with an embossing buddy. This will keep all the stray powder from sticking unless there is ink or VersaMark on it.

I then stamped an elephant in the center of the Basic Black square, using Whisper White Craft ink. I added white embossing powder to it and heat set it. 

Next, I die cut it, using the Stitched Shapes Framelits.

I then took a Basic White panel and stamped a sentiment on the bottom. I then added 4 strips of Halloween Night Washi tape to it.

Next, I adhered it to a Basic Black matte, and then onto the Basic White card front.

Lastly, I attached the White Elephant to the top of the card, using dimensionals, and adhered the other Basic White panel to the inside of the card.

Only One

Each card you make is a one-of-a-kind. Even if you use the same materials, each one will be unique. Don't misunderstand. The cards can look very much alike, but there will still be subtle differences. These subtleties are what makes it so very special and unique. 

Stamps:

   One of a Kind

Paper:

   Basic Gray A-2

   Whisper White 5-1/4 x 4 (2)

Ink:

   Melon Mambo

   Wisteria Wonder

   Basic Gray

Technique:

   Crimper

   CAS

Accessories:

   Adhesive

First, I stamped the Melon Mambo flower in the middle of the Whisper White panel.

Then I added the sentiment with Wisteria Wonder.

Next, I randomly added the other flowers using Basic Gray. 

I then ran the panel through my crimper, vertically. This does shrink the panel a tiny bit. So, I trimmed the other edges to balance it out.

Lastly, I adhered the panel to the card base. The other Whisper White panel is for the inside of the card.

Thank you for stopping by here and taking a quick peek. 

This is a wonderful card for that person who  needs to be reminded of how wonderfully special they are to you. Sometimes, we forget to complement each other, or we just take each other for granted.
