Lili Of The Valley - Cute Elephant #4

Hi there

If you live in the UK, I hope you enjoyed your May Bank Holiday. I'd love to say the weather was great here in the north East...but as usual is was rubbish! Anyhow back to cardmaking. Lol

I'm back to share the last of my Lili Of The Valley 'Cute Elephant' cards. For today's card I used 'Balloon - Elephant' and coloured her up using pastel pencils again. I hope you enjoyed the preview of all the gorgeous little characters. For all the cards I've made over the past few days I used the polymer stamps and might I say the elephants are quite large, but there will be digital versions of the stamps if you prefer to resize them or flip them - the links will be added this week.

For your information, here is the link to the LOTV Online  Shop and the LOTV Etsy Store to check out all the stamps. FYI you can use both sites to purchase the stamps. 

Here's What I Did & Used

I covered the front of a 5" x 7" card blank with dotty lilac paper. The sentiment was printed onto pastel colouring card first, then the elephant was stamped with black ink just below it and die cut into a rectangle. The scene was coloured with various pastel pencils, and mounted onto a lilac mat. The topper was glued flat onto the front of the card. To finished the card I added a few pearls around the sentiment. 

FYI - I used a paper stump to blend the pencils and a fixative spray to stop the pencils from smearing.
