Hi Everyone! I created this card yesterday to play along with the MOJO Monday 194 sketch challenge. I always love the MOJO sketches. I used the little Emery Plain Jane image and a sentiment from the To the Moon stamp set from Verve Stamps. I used some patterned papers from My Mind's Eye's Alphabet Soup Boy line. I stamped the elephant on a piece of patterned paper (I wanted him to resemble a stuffed animal), shaded it with copic markers and cut it out. I sponged some antique linen, tea dye, and walnut stain distress inks on the edges of my cream cardstock and patterned papers. I finished off my card with some orange buttons, brown grosgrain ribbon, and some baker's twine. I adhered my sentiment circle and elephant image with foam adhesive.
Hope you all have a wonderful weekend! Thanks so much for stopping by!
Niki
Such nice warm colors and the stitching is PERFECT! A nice change from the standard pastels.
