Elephant birthday

Hi! I hope you are all having a great weekend! With Memorial Day on Monday, I wanted to say to anyone that has served for their country, I want to give a thank you!


On to crafty stuff :) I made a birthday card that was inspired by several challenges going on right now: CAS Colours & Sketches, Color Throwdown and AAA Cards.

I started this one by stamping the chevron in green and then moving it over slightly so that it was in the blank area and stamping it again in gray. I used my Misti which was a serious help. Then I stamped 'Ellie' on some white cardstock and colored her in with copics. After fussy cutting her out, I adhered her to my card and stamped the flags right over her nose and colored them in. I also used my wink of stella to put some shine on the flags :) I used my Misti again to line up the sentiment. The last thing I did was use a white gel pen to add some dashed lines along the green part of the chevron.

Supplies Used:

Stamps: Paper Smooches - Borderlicious; Avery Elle - Ellie; SSS - You matter

Inks: Copics - W00, W01, W03, R20, G19; Hero Arts - Charcoal Grey, Ranger - Lily Pad; MFT Black Licorice

Embellishments; Wink of Stella

I am sharing this in the challenges that inspired it :)
