I used Operation Write Home's Sketch #249 for my design. I cut 8 banners from 4 different patterned paper scraps. I stamped the elephant on white cardstock with Soft Granite, and colored him with my colored pencils. I also shaded the balloon with colored pencils. I used 2 of the star stamps from the set with Sunshine ink to stamp the stars on the yellow panel. I also stamped the greeting in Soft Granite. I attached the balloon string to the back of the balloon, & poked a hole to feed the other end through the elephant's trunk. After taping the string ends to the back of the panel, I assembled the card. I added a bow to each end of the balloon string, just for something special.
