I made this card for the Alphabet Challenge letter E.
I won these 2 stamp sets from Colorado Craft Company. I love their new "Big & Bold" sets. I created a mask for the flowers and put that on my white cardstock before stamping the elephant. I saw Kathy Racoosin on The 30 Day Coloring Challenge make a card similar to this with the elephant and flowers...so I need to give her credit for the idea. I then, stamped my flowers over the elephant's ear. I colored my images with Copic markers.
I stamped the sentiment "I miss you" on the front and on the inside I stamped the large "TONS" sentiment.

I gasped when this amazing card slowly opened up on my screen. Gracie your colouring is out of this world and your sad elephant looks like how I feel on the inside. This is not just in My Favs of the Week, but it is safely tucked away in my secret Best of 2020 Pinterest board. The background is as magic as the rest of your wonderful card Gracie. TFS your art and heart.

This is so pretty and striking, Gracie! I have an Elephant on my desk, but went a different way. Love your flowers and elephant together. Great masking!
