This simple card was to fun make with these Leafy Backdrop stamps from Pink Fresh! I think I’m going to have to find some other ways to use them! Plus these Elephant of Surprise stamps are so sweet from Heffy Doodle!

------------------------------------------------------
Using 3 of the Leafy Backdrop stamps, I began to place them where I wanted them. I used the New Sprout green from Memento.

I had to take the longest vine and bend the end inwards so that it would point focus to the elephant.

From my Elephant of Surprise stamp set from Heffy Doodle, I stamped one of the elephants.

Then, I colored him in using my Copic markers N3, N5, N7, and N9. I used my white Gelly pen to add highlights.

I used N1 to create a shadow under the elephant.

I used a very light hand with my Black Soot distress ink to add a light vignette around the card.

To finish the card off, I used green sequins and green Nuvo drops.
