OCL Sneak Peek!


Hello, and welcome to Our Craft Lounge's sneak peek of our upcoming mini-release!  You should have arrived from the blog of awesome Amber Hillman!

To complete the entire hop, you will start and end at the Our Craft Lounge blog, hopping from one blog to another and leaving comments at every stop along the way...be sure to comment, because we'll be giving away some stamp sets!  Four random winners will be chosen from the comments left for our sneak peek today and second hop tomorrow...they could be from ANY of the blogs participating!  Winners will be announced on the OCL blog on Monday morning.  (Just do your best to leave a comment here!  Blogger has been having troubles for a while, and my blog still isn't totally back to normal!)

My card features a cute little elephant from a new set called Shout it Out!  This set includes lots of darling little animals along with sentiments for various occasions and coordinating comment bubbles.  Since my mom LOVES elephants and has a birthday this month, this little cutie was my first choice!  (Second choice will be the gator, a representative of my current home state of Florida and childhood home state, Louisiana!)  

I chose this particular designer paper because I wanted to color the elephant a life-like natural gray.  I love that the striped design is reminiscent of circus popcorn boxes in shades of pink and gray instead of red and yellow!  For embellishments I added a blingy spray of water from the elephant's trunk, and a bright pink silk bow.

I know my mom is gonna love this bright, simple birthday card!  I hope you like it too!
