An Elephant Card

It's time for a card made with one of Dora's beautiful digis. This month her theme is elephants and she drew this gorgeous lifelike elephant! I coloured it with Be Creative Alcohol markers and created the background in the oval with ink dusters. I stamped the base card with a very old stamp by Katy Widger from Rubber  Poet(I don't think you can get them any more). I used Kaleidacolor creole spice ink. This reminds me so much of the colourful fabrics I saw in Rwanda, so is an ideal backdrop for an African Elephant. You can find Dora's Digis here on her blog.
Thanks for looking!

    WOW! I love the background and agree about the likeness to African fabric designs, the elephant is such a strong image. Love it ALL.

    Wow a fabulous card Sally, I love the digi you've used. Dora is a very talented lady. Great background that you've created to go with the elephant.

    Wow Your elephant is so realistic looking. Fab colouring. I was looking for an elephant image but the only one I found had a lot of jungle background to colour in so I didn't do it and coloured a couple of toucans instead as one does! hugs Mrs A.

    A very cool card, Sally. It looks gorgeous - I immediately thought that my daughter would like it because she loves elephants.
