Since my mom loves elephants and collects elephant trinkets, there was no question which of Theresa's Wild About You images would see ink first. I stamped it on one of the solids from the Basic Grey Little Black Dress 6 x 6 pad, then colored it with Copic markers. I chose a coordinating print for a background on a layout inspired by the triangular shaped cloths that are often draped over the heads of service or circus elephants. The "peace" sentiment seems to go along with these clean, simple, uncluttered lines. I really love black and kraft together!
Here's a cute lucky duck from Rupa's Blooming with Blessings! Isn't this a fun way to encourage someone to strut their stuff?! I love the happy colors in this GKD Casual Friday designer paper!
Here's more inspiration for today!
