Soaring - QKR Stampede DT challenge #261 - Anything Goes

-

This week's challenge at QKR Stampede is, as always, anything goes - no option this time, so let your imagination take over!  You may enter as many as 3 times.  Winners receive QKR images - if you use a QKR/Eureka image you win additional images.  Join us before 3 p.m.Thursday Sept. 21.  Winners are posted Friday when there is a new challenge.
This flying elephant is the image called "floating away".  Both the image and sentiment can be found in the store here.  I lightly colored the elephant with brown water color pencil.  (I used my aqua pen to soften the color.).  I am sure he is floating among the stars!   The balloons are also water colored.  I fussy cut the image before adhering it to the bg.  Serendipity - I  have a pad called Beau Papier that includes this page with the houses - and I finally found a way to use one!  I added gems to create doorknobs - they are a tad large but that is all I could find.

Be the Elephant #3

I am using the new digi set I just got from TLC - see previous posts for the story behind the elephant!  I will send this to the guide we had on our South Africa trip - he will enjoy it I am sure.  The DP is from a Debbbie Mumm stack.  I also used Washi tape and a couple of half pearls, as well as the Nesties.

Baby Boy congrats

Once again, I am working on building up my inventory.  This will be the only baby card for now!  Not much stamping, but I keep looking for ways to use the adorable Debbie Mumm DP - I have a lot, I think it is cute, but it is a challenge to use.  I cheated a bit, and used the same pattern for the bg, but I turned the right hand panel on its side - works fine as it would hardly show.  Maybe I should do a similar one in pink.  I have very few suitable baby images.  I used edging scissors for some of the edges.
 I used some fiber (something on a spool) to complete this challenge:  http://ribboncarouselchallenge.blogspot.com

For this challenge, I used the word "baby", and had a theme of baby, boy and the color blue:  http://shoppingourstash.blogspot.com/   I have had the fibers for a very long time, and the Debbie Mumm DP has been in my stash for over a year.
