At The Alphabet Challenge, we have reached the letter ‘Z‘. Deborah has chosen the theme of ‘Z is for Zoology‘. We want to see your projects featuring animals Here are my cards:
I decided to make the background grey and have the elephants in colour. A flip-around really.
The background is dry embossed using a Spellbinders embossing folder.
The elephants were stamped using the ‘Color Layering Elephant’ from Hero Arts, in tones of the colours you see. Once stamped, they were die cut and set to one side.
The balloon background panel is from My Favourite Things, and inverted. I have seen most projects with the balloons coming up from the bottom, but I wanted mine to come from the top.
Once that balloon panel was cut, I used some Copics which matched each elephant, coloured some pieces of card, then used a balloon die to cut them out, gluing them to the white balloons on the background panel.
I attached the elephant, stamped and attached the sentiment, then added glossy accents to the balloons.
I hope you can come and join us with your projects following our theme. xx

These are fun birthday cards. And they say elephants don’t forget, so what a great idea to use them on the cards. Hugs-Erika

These are adorable, Lynda! Love the color-on-gray theme. Having seen your inverted balloons, I can’t imagine them coming out from the ground now. :-) Thank you so much for sharing this with us at our ‘Anything Mixed Media Goes’ challenge on Creative Artiste!
