Use Stampin’ Blends to color them all in and then die cut from the Elephant Dies. I used Smoky Slate and Flirty Flamingo on the elephant, Daffodil Delight on the butterfly, Highland Heather on the flower and Mint Macaron on the leaves. 
  8. Next die cut several leaves, hearts, flowers and a bow using the Elephant Dies, Teacup Dies and Perfect Plants dies from various cardstock. I used Polished Pink, Soft Sea Foam, Garden Green, Pool Party and Evening Evergreen.
  9. Use Mini Glue Dots to create a nest of leaves, flowers and hearts, then place the Elephant on top. Add the flower and bow before attaching everything to the car dwith several Mini Glue Dots. Then add the butterfly in the upper right of the circle.
