CC772 = Red, Grey, and Black - I hope it's okay that my only black is my stamping of the elephant and hat.
Love this stamp of a very sad looking elephant - I decided the silly thing has really overindulged in the Christmas festivities!
The first step was to create the sentiment on the computer and then print it off on a lightweight cs. I then put it in my MISTI and laid a piece of scrap acetate over it so that I could get my elephant lined up perfectly between the sections of the sentiment - by stamping onto the acetate, I can see where the image is going to end up. Then removed the acetate and stamped onto the cs.
I then coloured the elephant with coloured pencils and Gamsol. The Santa hat from the Tim Holtz Crazy Birds' accesories stamps seemed about the right size so I stamped, coloured, and fussy cut it. Bordered with red cs and it was done.

This is TOO cute!! I love the way you used the colors. I like my cards more bright than dark. My card is too dark for my liking. I like that yours is lighter and more CAS> . Wishing you a Happy New Year!!
