Cards in the Mail: Wildly Happy - Elephant

This was my Mar/Apr swap. I shared a sneak peek of it on Instagram but I never showed the completed card. 

I tried to get creative and match the dots to the ribbon but I ran into a big problem. My Embossing Paste was hard as a rock! So after some searching online I found that the sealed jar needs to be stored in a plastic bag and that you can add purified water to it if it hardens. Days and many doses later it finally softened up enough to use. I hope this doesn't happen to you. It's still lumpy.
