Moxie Fab/Paper Smooches Baby Elephant

Hello! I had a super fun and productive day yesterday - and managed to get 3 different cards made! I plan on sitting down in a few minutes to hopefully play a little more, but first thought I would share the first of the three I made yesterday:
I made this for two challenges that fit PERFECTLY together! The first is this weeks Paper Smooches SPARKS Picture Perfect Challenge. Here is the photo inspiration for that one:


And the other was for the Moxie Fab Tuesday Trigger - Sweet Dreams. Here is that inspiration photo:


I love the few Paper Smooches stamps that I have! So for this, I got my layout from the first photo, as well as a bit of the colors - and pulled my colors a lot from the second photo.
I used my Paper Smooches stamps to create the word art background using PTI ink in two different colors. 
Next, I stamped and paper pieced the elephants with some scraps from my stash, adding a bit of Copic marker for rosy cheeks. Also used a white gel pen for the tiny tusk and toes.
Attached the paper pieced elephants with foam adhesive so they pop off the card a bit. 
Finished off with some wood grain washi tape under them to ground them a bit. 
Thanks for visiting today! Hope you are having a beautiful day!
