This time we've gone for a neutral theme for the inspiration pic and a lovely big circle for the sketch.
I decided to combine both the photo and the sketch and came up with this card using the cute Adorable Elephants set.
I started with a piece of watercolor card and I smooshed Hickory Smoke ink onto it. Once it was dry, I cut it out with a pierced circle die. The elephant was colored with Copics as were the balloons.
I used the polka dots in the photo as inspiration for the horizontal panel which was adhered to a layer of Slate cardstock, onto which I'd white-embossed the sentiment. The card base is black.
