Poor little neglected Henry!

I hate it when I buy a stamp set and then hardly use it AT ALL. This tends to happen to me a lot with the cutesy stamp sets that have lots of little details that you can add to them, such as the one that I chose to use today, Henry Says. He is such a cute little elephant too!  I decided to use poor little neglected Henry for the challenges at Create with Connie and Mary and Freshly Made Sketches.
2013 Thursday Challenges-009
I thought these colors would be great for Henry and would make a great birthday card.
This was also a great chance to use my Designer Typeset Photopolymer stamp set. It coordinates quite nicely with Henry. :) I stamped it on the cardstock and the DSP and then cut out the triangles so they would fit perfectly on the banner that I stamped on my background.  I used an Aqua Painter to color in Henry and then I spritzed the whole card with all three colors for some birthday confetti.
