Happy Birthday Elephant

Hi there,

it is time for a brand new Mixed Media Challenge over at Happy Little Stampers:

• stamp the super adorable little elephant from the Happy Little Stampers Birthday Friends stamp set with Memento (Tuxedo Black) and color the image with Delta Markers and a white gel pen
• cut a stitched panel from Mixed Media Paper using the Waltzingmouse Stamps Stitched Rectangles and create a background with Gelatos (Fig, Strawberry, Elderberry)
• cover the Gelato-Layer with heavy white gesso and wipe away the gesso with a baby wipe through the My Favorite Things Large Polks Dots stencil
• add splatters using watered-down Gelatos (Watermelon) and Prima Marketing Color Bloom Iris
• stamp the sentiment from the same stamp set with VersaMagic (Midnight Black)
• adhere the elephant to a stitched banner cut from acetate using the My Favorite Things Stitched Fishtail Flag STAX
• use Distress Cardstock (Dusty Concord) as a base
• add some dots with Dina Wakley Heavy Body Acrylic Paint (Sterling); tap the cardpanel from behind to make them round and even

I would like to share my card at the following challenges:

I hope you got inspired and I can't wait to see your creation.

Yours,
