From the adorable Muse card, I took the elephant, the balloons (although I only used one) and the solid color background.
I loosely painted distress inks plus Island Blue from SSS onto a panel of white cardstock. Once that was dry, I flicked some of the Blueprint Sketch ink on top using a paintbrush before cutting the panel with a stitched die.
The elephant and balloon were colored with Copics and die cut. I then stamped the sentiment onto a flag and adhered both the elephant and balloon to it. The tag was cut from white cardstock and I also cut the top reinforcer from a scrap of the watercolored panel. The sentiment, elephant and balloon are all popped up on foam tape. I finished the card with some rainstones.
Thanks for visiting!
