Ellie and her bouquet

It is time for another challenge over at Crafting with an Attitude and this month’s challenge is “Just for fun”.

With the freedom to choose any image for my DT project, I dove into my stash of Conie Fong Art images and colored up this sweet elephant. The image is called Ellie with Bouquet.

As always, I used my Prismacolor pencils. But since I was travelling, I had taken only the 48 set with me and so challenged myself to color in the image with a limited palette. The flower coloring was inspired by a beautiful flower a dear friend had in a vase on her table. It was pink with purple edges.

I then cut the image out with a stitched rectangle die, leaving white space at the bottom for a sentiment I had cut out on my Silhouette machine of black cardstock. I applied the panel to a pink cardbase and then glued the sentiment in place.

I hope you like this clean and simple card with the sweet elephant on it. I love cards with a hello sentiment on them. They are so versatile and can be sent for any occasion.
