Couldn't think of a clever title for this one. Oh well.
I so love the IC. Today was another great site. Thanks Anne, I had so much fun.
I once again chose two..... this one for the bg and this one because I found this elephant that I cut out of a magazine awhile back and it just seemed like the perfect time to use it. hehe...details...
On water color paper, I painted my black lines, added different designs to some of the squares. Using w/c paints, I painted the colored squares. Took a angle brush, some black acrylic paint and shaded the white squares. Sponged tea dye on the edges of the panel.
Layered this with white cs that I drew the lines on for a border. Retraced the elephant on white cs and did the same border for him.
Put my bg on a black AC cs card, then popped up my elephant but it was just missing something. SO I went to my "go to thing" and added three black buttons. Now it was finished.
Hope everyone is having a great Saturday. I sure am....TFL :0)

You have created a masterpiece here. This is fabulous. I have always loved the IC challenge. It makes my creative juices flow. I have been MIA for some time from SCS. Just have no mojo these days. Maybe you can send me some of yours. As for my photos. I use an Otte light to light up my area and then use Photoshop to adjust the picture. Lots of cheating. Hope all is well with you and that your sissy is doing better.
