Do you remember this song from the movie Dumbo? I'm a Disney movie fan, especially the classics! When my husband and I were in college, my mother-in-law would mail us the latest Disney VHS release along with a box of surprises. My oldest son was 2 years old and he would get so excited about those movies! He watched them so many times that I could recite entire movies and songs in my sleep.
Some songs just stick in your head and the Pink Elephants on Parade from Dumbo was that one song for me. I don't even like it! However, when I was brainstorming ideas for a card for the Cupcake Inspirations pink and white color challenge, the song inspired me.
No, I wasn't drunk or hallucinating goofy things, though "seeing pink elephants" is a comical way to describe someone who is very drunk! The phrase has been used in songs about drinking, and there is even a drink named in it's honor. So, I thought it would make a cute invite for a girls' night out!
I didn't stop there...while I had the Club Scrap Mumbai supplies out I made a few more cards.
I ended up using some of my scraps from my "Off the Cuff" Art Journal project for the layers, instead of cutting up another whole sheet of patterned paper.
I used three different colors of Club Scrap ink for this focal image, Sapphire, Fuschia and Topaz. I finished it off with some gems from my stash and highlighted with Diamond Stickles. (The full supplies list will be included at the end of this post.)
