Here is the Elephant in the room for this week's Tea Party.
I have just spent time arguing with my computer about the colour of elephants. Elephants are Grey - not a wishy washy beige!!! Would it listen - no. Resorted to my IPad for the photo and the colours are much better. iPads know all about elephants being grey.
I used a water colour background for this card. Stamped, embossed and fussy cut the elephant. Stamped some little flowers and grasses around the elephant with Distress Inks. Layered the elephant up on top and die cut with Uniquely Creative nesting dies.
It is a very hot and humid day here today and after the battle with the computer I need something cold to drink now.
Hope you enjoy seeing the Elephant in the Room.

I can relate - my camera often sees the colors so differently from real life and picks up alot of undertones when I paint or layer prismacolor pencils.
Glad you got some greys into your pic as this is just beautiful and should reflect all the hard work that went into creating it. Beautiful bg to go with that magnificent animal.
