Elephant End

Hi there,

this is my third post as a Guest Designer for Skipping Stones Design and I created a Front-and-Back Spinner Card for you:

• stamp the front of the elephant from Skipping Stones Design Elephant End with Versafine (Smokey Gray) on watercolor paper 
• create a mirror-stamped image of the elephant's back from the same stamp set by stamping it on the backside of a large acrylic stamp or on the back of an unmounted rubber stamp; stamp that on a piece of watercolor paper as well; the lines won't be too crisp but you can always go over them with your Memento Marker (London Fog) after coloring
• color the images using Art Grip Aquarelle Pencils and a Dove Blender Pen
• glue the two parts on top of each other with a piece of silver thread in between
• cut out a circle from a white card panel and from a white cardbase with the help of the Avery Elle Double Pierced Circles
• apply some Distress Ink (Tumbled Glass, Shaded Lilac, Spun Sugar) through the Create a Smile Wave of Stars stencil and stamp the sentiment from the same stamp set with Versafine (Smokey Gray)
• assemble the card by glueing the panel behind the cardfront with the ends of the silver thread in between
