Elephant birthday

Good Morning everyone.  

Todays card was made for a friend who loves elephants.  Another new paperartsy zinkski art stamp - i know i got really spoilt at christmas with crafty stash😊


Approx size 7x7.5"  I stamped the elephant twice onto white card and simply watercoloured with grey distress ink and lilac & pistachio oxide inks.  The first one i die cut into a hexagon, doodled in some ground & coloured that & the leaves green.  I cut the head off the 2nd one (promise it didn't hurt her), gently curved and decoupaged on top of the first one.  I added glossy accents to the eye.

I created the card blank from white card, matted my elephant onto purple pearl card and the die cut a hexagon frame which i mounted with foam tape after stamping the sentiment in place.  I coloured some scraps of card with the lilac and lime inks and die cut a little flower and leaves.  Grey gems to finish.




Just a close up on my elephant. 

Items Used:
Paperartsy zinski art stamps
Sentiment stamps
XL Stitched hexagon dies
Flower & leaf dies
Distress ink - hicory smoke, twisted citron
Distress Oxide inks - shaded lilac, cracked pistachio
CraftUK white linen cardstock

Thank you for stopping by once again and waving a big hello to all my follows by email.  I hope you are all keeping safe and doing ok.  Hugs Emmaxx
