Tuesday Trigger: Lovely as a Lullaby

Hello there!  I was very literal in my inspiration from this week's Moxie Fab Tuesday Trigger.  When I saw the trigger picture, I immediately thought of the fun polka dot Hero Arts background stamp.  I embossed this on white and then used Ranger Distress Ink (Pumice Stone) to ink up the whole background panel.  Similar to the picture, I stitched on three little ribbon tabs.  I used my Verve To the Moon stamps for the elephant and the sentiment. 

Oh...and how many of you have received your Stamp It Issue from PaperCrafts...goodness...I will be staring at this for hours!  Fabulous issue!

Lol, I saw this on my blogger reader and was thinking how sweet and how they are like the tabby blankets and had to chuckle when I saw the inspiration! (now there was a run-on sentence!)

Hi Lynne, I'm unable to comment on your latest card for the wee memories challenge as no comments tag to click on???
Love the design and yes I prefer to start with a tidy desk but it rarely happens:)

Sweet card, Lynn! I see some pink in there. Love it, your four boys are just beautiful! Does the trigger bring back memories for you as well? Great interpretation of the trigger.

You must stop using that envelope pattern stamp! Seriously! I hope to find it this weekend in KC. If not, I'll be coming home and ordering it! This is perfectly done from that trigger photo! Have a great 4th weekend!
