Elephants .....

Here is a tag made for a monthly swap over on UK Stampers Forum .......

The base is made from re-cycled food packaging. The background was made from ink sprayed watercolour card. The background was added to the card base. and the tag trimmed into shape.

I chose an elephant stamp from Crafty Individuals and stamped this in Versafine black ink which was then heat embossed with clear embossing powder. The elephants were trimmed out and separated before colouring with Lyra aquacolour brush pens in orange, maroon and green. The eyes and tusks were coloured white with Posca marker.

I then applied the elephants. The right one direct to the tag and the left one added on foam pads. I grounded them with black Inktense pencil and waterbrush as well as edging the tag with orange Inktense pencil.

I stamped a few outline leaves with a stamp and Versafine Clair green ink at the top and sides. The 'Hello' was stamped in more Versafine Clair green ink on white card. This was trimmed out, matted on black card and dots of white Posca added before sticking in place on the tag.

Finishing touch was to add a copper eyelet with the Crop -a-Dile and tying through with some decorative fibres in a similar colourway along with 3 clear glass cabochons held in place with Glossy Accents .....
