So Happy For You!

This card is for a friend of mine that is having a baby - in just over a month.  Her shower is Friday, and I'm sorry I have to miss it, but I'm sending a little something to her, along with this card.

She is waiting to find out what gender the baby is, so all she is receiving are neutral items.  She and her husband have decorated the baby room with yellow paint and a circus theme. She's so talented that she painted circus murals on the walls - including elephants.  So, that is the inspiration for this card:

Hero Arts Happy Animals, PTI Turning a New Leaf stamps and die, Simple Circles die
I used the Fiskars punch...again.  I love it!  I thought that patterned paper would resemble grass and plants.  The circles are cut from PTI's Simple Circles die.

Hero Arts All Occasion Messages, PTI Sunshine Impression Plate, Border die

Here's the inside:

PTI Signature Greetings, Angled Labels die, Fiskars Grass Punch
I'm entering this into the Hero Arts contest for the month and to Wee Memories challenge for this week, which is to use no less than 4 colors!  I think this one fits!  Click on those links and play along!

Thanks for visiting My Happy Place!

This card is just too adorable. I love all the little elements, especially the elephants and the punched grass. I have finally ordered that grass punch, after falling in love with what you did with it a while back on a Frog card. Thanks for more inspiration.
