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!

A great background to set off the elephant - lovely card
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.

This is lovely Sally and you've done an amazing job colouring the Elephant, it looks so realistic, I love the background too. Sandra X
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.
