This is for the TLC and the CAS challenge today. I stamped my image on Whisper White with Momento. I colored it using Prismas and oms. I had some dp that matched perfectly with River Rock. I distressed the edges of my image panel then sponged it with RR. I used four eyelets one on each corner and stamped my sentiment. This meets both challenges. The CAS is At the Zoo and the TLC is Stamping Nostalgia. Both were fun challenges.
I love this image. It's from MFP.
I am so used to my Copics that it's a challenge to use the pencils but I'm learning slowly but surely.

I love it! Elephants are really popular (and populous) in this zoo today... Yours is fabulous. Great sentiment, as well! tfs and I know what you mean RE copics. After using pencils this morning, my hands were sore!

Beautiful card with the elephant head as the main focus, Sylvia. It would make a superb masculine card with its image and neutral "saharan-like" tones. Beautiful job of shading and distressing.

Your colouring looks pretty perfect to me!! The neutrals make a great background for the elephant - reminds me of a jigsaw my dad made for me from an old magazine photo.
