Today's card features a selection of lovely Simon Says Stamp goodies & I absolutely love the little elephant, it's so cute.
The background was created by stamping a selection of balloons & stars from the cute Birthday Celebration stamp set with Versamark Watermark Ink Pad & then heat embossing them with Simon's White Embossing Powder. I gave the background a wash of diluted Broken China distress ink to add some subtle colour & watercoloured the little balloons. The Sunrise Border die cut was also watercoloured & I gave this a slightly stronger mix of the same distress inks to draw the eye rather than have it blend into the background..
The sweet elephant was coloured with Copics & then fussy cut & sat on the Scalloped Border die cut. I stamped one balloon with Memento, coloured & glittered & fussy cut it before adding it to my card using a foam pad.

The copic colours I've used are -
C3, C1, C00 / R83, R81, V000 / V01, V00, V0000.

  12. There is so much cuteness on this card, I don't know where to begin! I love all the swirls behind the main panel, and that silvery glittery sentiment almost steals the show! Then there's that beyond cute elephant...........
