Stamped the elephant with Copic friendly black ink on X-press It cardstock. Coloured with grey Copic markers then die cut out with the coordinating die. Each number was then die cut from white cardstock twice. One was coloured with a B99 Copic marker, then they were offset with the white ones. Happy and birthday were white heat embossed on a black strip.
The pinking edge rectangle was die cut once from Kraft and twice from black. They were mounted together for dimension. Black splatters were added to the Kraft piece for a bit of texture. Thought it would be fun to have the elephant hold the numbers, so all elements were assembled onto a Kraft card base to finish.
Thank you for visiting. Have a wonderful day.
