I love those elephants so much and was completely smitten by them as the main attraction, then scrolled down and saw your leaves and was smitten all anew. As always, the little things catch my eye, but those leaves are no small thing. They're gorgeous. But the paisley elephants, really... dang.

This looks very 'Eastern' with the paisley design of the elephant, and very impressive with the double shadow effect you've done. Love that you made your own paper too replicating the paisley. That was such a nifty extra detail to add more pizzaz to this wonderful card. Loving that super glittered sentiment...that's an awesome color and great to know it's detail as well. Thanks for taking time to show the pictures and explain how you did these snazzy elephants!

I always enjoy your beautiful cards.<br /><br />I don't like to contaminate my dye inks with the Versamark, so another tip for you to try is to use a stamp positioner, stamp your image with dye ink, then, without removing the image stamp again using Versamark. Then apply your embossing powder and emboss.<br />Beckyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16398350800347236357noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5047286263309535644.post-26485259995679351552018-07-20T06:36:25.963-05:002018-07-20T06:36:25.963-05:00What an amazing card Donna, I love the fabulous de...What an amazing card Donna, I love the fabulous design and colours.

I forget that tip of using the embossing ink first and then the color you want, it gives a great effect to the sentiment.<br />Love the detail around the edges with the embossing powder. Such a pretty flower and center along with that lovely framing on the first card and on the second I just love the sparkle that you gave to the leaves.
