mom’s applique birthday card

my mom collects elephant things, and her birthday was friday, and my gift to her was not elephant related, so i wanted to make a card that was.  i had just read jenny’s how-to for using an iron-on applique method on 3-ring binders, so i tried the concept out on the card and it totally worked!  yeah!

(photo from craftzine blog)  i used “steam-a-seam2” instead of heatnbond, and it worked out fine, super easy!  don’t know if it’ll stay stuck forever, but it seemed to be secure.  fun little quick craft, great for fabric scraps, try it!
