There's so many cute little critters from the Spring 2018 release that could make adorable cards (as you've already seen from the rest of the creative team!). Today I thought I'd do a simpler and rather elegant take on two of my favorites (and I'm totally unbiased ;)) - Elephant Pair and Loving Giraffes.

I started out by stamping both pairs in Indigo on watercolor cardstock. I then colored them in loosely and quickly with Indigo Liquid Watercolor, and then masked them off.

After masking of the animals, I then created another mask by taking a piece of scratch paper, cut down to A2 card size (4.25"x5.5") and then die cut an oval out of the center.

I then added some removable adhesive to the corners of the scratch paper and used it as a second mask.

The beautiful Holiday Florals background was stamped in Fresh Peach, and then the masks peeled off - oila! I love using this background for non-holiday cards!

I really didn't want to cover any of the pretty watercolor or background with a sentiment, but you could totally do so, or even slide in a sentiment in the corner.

Thanks so much for stopping in today and God bless!
