Pink Elephant Day - going green...

Due to my computer's internet connection breaking down I missed last week's challenge at The Pink Elephant, but I am so happy to be back this week as it  really is a very special week.
We are being sponsored by Claudia and Company, which is great, but the extra exciting news is that the stamps we have used are from the Puddle Jumpers range designed by my team mate and friend Lori. 
How exciting is that?  
The little Puddle Jumper tiny tots are just fantastic.  I used super cute Daisy on my card, but do visit The Pink Elephant to check out the other cute characters on cards created by my team mates.  There is also the chance to win one of the new stamps.
The Pink Elephant  theme this week is to use green - lots of it! Quite a challenge really as I was tempted to go very pink on Daisy (must be Laura's influence rubbing off on me).

Materials used:
  • Daisy - Puddle Jumper Stamp available at Claudia and Company
  • Sentiment unmounted stamp - from stash
  • green floral paper - DCWV Spring stack
  • Fiskars Embossing Plate - to create paw print background - which hardly shows in photo, but is quite cool in real life - honest!
  • gems, ribbon and green card from stash
Challenges:
Have a great day everyone and I do hope you have time to enter this week's challenge.
