Happy at Cut It Up!



Our new challenge over at Cut It Up is Happy.  Now, when I was a kid, there was nothing happier than pink and orange together.  I think every adult hated this color combo, but it was very popular with girls! 

I imported this framed elephant from Dragon's Lair into Cricut Design Space and cut out the background turning it into my own Die Cut.  Then I adhered him to the front of the card (so the background would show through the window) using 3-D tape.

Digi: Dragon's Lair Elephant (Retired)
