I just love this Dreamweaver Sm Elephant stencil (LL3042). It makes a wonderful Baby Shower card and can be done in any color palette. I'm going to a Baby Shower this weekend and they know they are having a boy, so this was perfect timing for me!
I've been preparing some class samples for a workshop I'm going to be doing for Door County Rubber Stamps in June and it just so happened that I had some left over paste that was perfect for the "Sludge technique" Elephant. Whenever you have left over paste that you have colored, save it to an empty paste jar (or any container that seals well). It will keep quite a while in the right container. Anyway...I had some left over blue (Regular Paste with Metallic FX Navajo Sky added), and matte copper (Regular Paste and Copper Paste mixed in equal amounts). Add alternating dollops of paste along the edge of your paste spreader (LM2010), swirl them together a little with the tip of a palette knife, then paste your image. Do I even have to tell you to save the left over! They turn out different each time. This one is a little more "stripey" than "marbley", but it worked great with the striped paper I chose. I can never throw left over paste away, so Sludge pasting is the perfect solution. Beautiful papers also help tie everything together, as does the fabulous ribbon from May Arts.
Our "A" wants to "shower" you with lots more ideas, so be sure to stop over and leave them a "shower" of comments!

Amazing combiation of colors that make the elephant terrific!
Love, love, love the cool effect on the elephant and that ribbon is luscious! Beautiful card, Louise, as always!
I love the look you achieved! It looks like a patinad copper sheet on a roof. I think it couldn't have turned out more perfect.
I love your take on this months challenge! Your so right!
So sweet and love the technique you used with the different pastes. The ribbon complements the stencil so well, and that caption for the card is adorable!
"wishing you a ton of happiness"...such a cute sentiment and card Louise! The sludge paste is wonderful and the way you tied the ribbon with the little gold bow is adorable for a baby card!
This is absolutely gorgeous! LOVE the way you tied the ribbon also! TFS!

Love the paste mix on this. Amazing colors!
Your card is beautiful and perfect for a boy shower. I'm sure the mom to be will appreciate it.
