One of my co-workers is having twin girls. Saw these cute SSS elephant dies at Stampaway convention and knew I HAD to have them.
Elephants are 2 layers; their ears are 3 to provide a wee bit of dimension. The big elephant's eye is actually cut out. I didn't have a gemstone quite tiny enough to inlay, so just used glossy accents to fill and add the gemstone on top.
The stitched scalloped border is super pretty, but I still felt the card needed a little something. Looked through my embellishments stash and decided these small half pearls were the perfect finishing touch. Again, used a think strip of glossy accents to be sure they were well adhered and used the stitching as my placement guide to be sure they were straight.
I decided black would be too harsh of a contrast for my sentiment. So opted to soften by using London Fog by Memento.
I didn't have any stamps with appropriate sentiments for multiple babies, so selected this one from my Hallmark Connections software:
What fun it will be to watch your two little babies
grow into their own unique personalities,
with their own gifts, their own dreams,
knowing they'll always share
the most important thing of all --
your love.
TFL!
