Elephant Card

These cold winter days make me wish that spring will come sooner. Since I am unable to change the weather, the closest thing I can do is make a colorful spring card. Elephants are my favorite animals, they are just so incredibly cute. I decided to color the elephant with some colored pencils. I wanted to make a clean and simple card, so the elephant is the main focal point of the card. Thank you for stopping by my blog!

Lawnscaping Challenge- Texture

Welcome to my blog!  Today I am going to share a card I made for the Lawnscaping Challenge. The challenge is to use texture in your project. I just had to make a cute little Christmas card, because it really lends itself to texture. I used the Critters of the Forest, Pa-rum-pa-pum-pum, and Cozy Christmas. I colored all my images with Copic markers, and then cut them out with my X-acto knife. I used some pop dots to create some depth in my scene. For textural elements I used; glossy accents for the lights, fine glitter for many of the images,  dry embossing for the inside of the fireplace, felt for the carpet, and I used different rhinestones and pearls for embellishments. It was kind of tricky to get a picture showing all the texture, this was the best I could get it!

Thank you so much for stopping by my blog. I hope you have a wonderful weekend!
