Let's "Elebrate!"

This is such a great card for a beginning stamper, but looks so impressive when it's finished! I love this stamp, called Elebrate which is an a la carte stamp in the current Idea Book & Catalog. It's under $10 and this card would be perfect for a birthday or a baby shower or something like that. And the green and yellow makes it very gender neutral.

To color in the elephant, I used my pastels and a blender pen. This is a great technique to share at a workshop because purchasing the pastels and a sent of blender pens is cheaper overall than buying the watercolor crayons and you get all the colors all at once! Like I said, perfect for a beginning stamper - a black ink pad, a pack of cardstock, an a la carte stamp, and the pastels plus blender pens and boom - you have everything you need to make some great looking cards.
