A stitched rectangle panel was die cut from Bristol paper. Wilted Violet, Blueprint Sketch and Salty Ocean distress inks were then blended on with blending brushes to create the sky. Spritz with water and dried with a paper towel for some texture. Added a few diecut clouds to complete.
The elephant was stamped with Copic friendly black ink on X-press It cardstock, coloured in with Copics then die cut out with the matching die. Added a penny behind the elephant to give it some weight when it swings. Used a couple of circle dies and a slider disc to create the hinge swinging portion (Ilda's video shows how).
Black heat embossed the sentiment, then assembled onto a white card base. Added Crystal Glaze to the balloon to finish. Here's my first still photo video to show it in action.
So fun and super easy. Thank you for stopping by. Have a wonderful weekend.
