Hi! This card was made for today's Color Combination Challenge: Real Red, Soft Sky, and Blue Bayou. WOW!
The background is NOT designer paper! It was made by stamping Polka Dot in Blue Bayou onto Soft Sky. Then, I drew circles around the dots in Basic Black marker.
The Elmor the Elephant was stamped three times in Basic Black. (Stamped once on the Whisper White and then punched with the Mega Punch. Stamped once on a scrap of the Polka Dot and cut out and layered onto the Whisper White Elmor. The third was stamped onto Blue Bayou, and the ear was cut out and layered. I added Signo Pen dots and drew Basic Black circles around the dots.)
I outlined the Signo dots along the layer edges, too.
The Real Red circle was made with the Coluzzle and the Blue Bayou was punched with the Giga Scalloped Circle Punch.

I love that you can always tell which cards are yours! I don't think I have to even look at the name anymore. Great job! My sis would love this one too, she likes elephants. I never would have thought to outline the polka dots, but it adds ALOT!

All the work you put in your cards is mind boggling. I would run out of steam. I LOVE this as always, great little elephant. I like how you popped up his ear and paper pieced the body. Awesome detail work.
