Let me start by saying I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this card! Such a gorgeous backdrop for the elephant! How funny about the stamps! I can't imagine how you felt when the realization set in. :)
I'm so jealous that you have an elephant stamp. And you've given him (her) the perfect Wild Kingdom background. LOVE this card! As for your little stamp situation - I have no words. I imagine the Big Guy is shaking his head too.
This is stunning. I love the richness of your blended sun background, and your singing elephant is a fantastic image. Thanks so much for playing along at CASology this week.
OH I LOve these papers!!! LInda... it is such a fabulous card! Now about those stamps... when a card with YOUR return address arrives, who in their right mind would look at the stamp? no worries, my friend! =]
Linda Love your silhouette card of the elephant trumpeting in the sunset... maybe calling the little ones home. ??? but your stamp story is too funny... I mailed out a few cards last week. I usually buy the "forever" stamps which have limited designs. I was finishing up one roll and opening the next.. when I too realized that the envelope I addressed to send to a man had a flowery heart...and the card to the lady had vegetables! Hugs.
This is spectacular!! I LOVE that elephant against the sun that you created and the matting with those patterned papers is perfection!!

The Big Guy is a very observant person.....me not so much. I go through life in my own little bubble and take Emma with me! This week Emma and I went to the Post Office and I let her pick out my stamps. She chose a page of Disney Villains with large, colorful images. We had a grand time talking about the villains and their movies. I may have even sung a verse or two of the Cruella DeVil song while we happily slapped stamps on my cards to mail. As I dropped the cards into the mail slot it dawned on me that I mailed two sympathy cards and three get well cards adorned with a crafty evil queen, a mean old stepmother, a shady conniving fox, a scary sea witch and a crazy croquet playing queen! So not appropriate........

I used the sketch from Cas(e) this Sketch and the cue word Safari from CASology to design my card today. And I guess it would be ok to use Scar from the Lion King on the envelope!

I think a cheeky Disney villain would be just the thing to put a smile on anyone's face!!
Love the silhouette on the rising sun. VERY well done.
Love from sunny South Africa
