Hi everyone,
It's challenge time with my friends over on the CCEE Stampers challenge blog. Lois Bak our challenge hostess for the month finishes off the month with one last challenge.
This week Lois has asked us to celebrate the CCEE Challenge Team by including something on our card to represent each one of the letters of "our name" C C E E.
Here is what I used for each of the letters:
C - Circle
C- Clown Suit
E - Elephant
E- Enjoy Your Day Sentiment
When I was trying to figure out what to do for this challenge, I thought about using an elephant with a cake or cupcake. When I went searching through my stash I did find an elephant with a cupcake but I also found this fun elephant dressed in a clown suit so I decided to use that for my card today.
It has been a while since I have used my Pop it Ups Twist Circle Pop Up die set so I pulled that out too. For something different I decided to make a Twist Circle Window Card that Karen Burniston shared on Youtube last year.
Here is another look at my card taken at a different angle so you can see the pop up part of the card a little easier.
When the card closes the circle twists so the image faces towards the right, as you can see as the card is starting to close in the photo above.
To finish off the card I added stars to the front and inside of the card. The stars where die cut from white cardstock that had Clear Double Sided Adhesive on the front and then covered with Silk Microfine Glitter and colored using colors I had coloured the elephant.
One more photo of my card as it is finished closing.
Here is a look at the front of my card as you can see the card is in a different orientation because the image through the window turned to the right as it closed.
