Some of you might remember little Eva from some photos I shared several months ago.
Well – time sure does fly, and Eva just turned ONE!
Eva’s Aunt Liz asked if I would make a special card for her sweet little niece’s first birthday. The request included incorporating an elephant, so Eva’s baby elephant is glammed up a bit with a purple velvet bow and a tiny pearl.
I had so much fun drawing and painting this card for an exceptional little princess.
Wishing you a day and year ahead as special as you little Eva!
Cheers & Hugs,
Jodi
the creative life in between 
Happy birthday, Eva! What an adorable card. The purple bow and the pearl are such special little touches. I just want to reach out and hug this little elephant.

Thanks Carol – though I don’t know how I could charge for the time something like this takes. Maybe when I get better I’ll be faster, but it took a good hour to make.

That’s the problem with selling hand-made crafts ~ it’s hard to get what they’re really worth, time-wise. Eva is one lucky little girl!
