SPDSS29-Thanks a Ton

*** Scroll down to the post below or click HERE to see my card for this week's Mojo Monday sketch! *** 

A new sketch challenge is starting today at SugarPea Designs.  Here's my take on SPDSS29 using the new Tons of Fun stamp set.

I colored the set's elephant image with Copic markers, then carefully cut him (her?) out.  I used foam tape to adhere the image to a circle cut with the new SugarCuts-Zig Zag Stitched Circle dies. The elephant image was adhered to a pale pink card base covered with a pink chevron patterned paper and a solid strip of pale pink cardstock.  To accent the image, I added a handcut rose fishtail flag strip and a small button tied with pink baker's twine.  The set's "thanks a ton" sentiment was stamped in black ink near the bottom of the cardfront.  Some sparkling clear sequins scattered around the cardfront completed the design.
