Hi! This card was made for today's Technique Lovers Challenge: Faux Dry Embossing.
* This is done by stamping Whisper White craft ink onto Tangerine Tango and then stamping the image with Tangerine Tango. (It's a grass image...) I put on as a tattoo on Elle!
The inside says, "Have a giant TATTOO on your BUTT!" It's for a friend who mentioned that she had a tattoo and then SHOWED it to me! OMGosh! It was HUGE, not pretty and on her FANNY! An image that will haunt me forever! LOL!
Since I usually don't FEATURE my embossed panels on a card, I used the grass as a background panel. This way, it looks more like an EMBOSSED image!
Speedy the Cat chose Elle the Elephant today...It was IN THE TOLIET!!!! Along with the sheet of Gemstones! YIKES!!! (Okay....confession time...I FORGOT to clean the stamp the last time I used it...I think Speedy the Cat was trying to clean it for me! LOL!)
I stamped the image two times and colored each image with SU! markers. I cut out both images and layered the head...I added Signo pen for highlights!

This is so cute! That baby elephant is just adorable w/ her little tattoo. Whenever I see an elephant I always remember what my DD used to call them: elphanent (pronounced l-fa-nent). Have to stop myself from calling them that now.
