The image is the smaller of two elephants from the 'Jumbo' stamp set by Stamp Addicts, I have had this set for years. Its stamped in onyx black Versafine and embossed with detail clear powder then coloured with Promarkers. I cut it out with a Spellbinders die and edged it with Picked Raspberry Distress Ink and added some of the same ink to the elephants ears, feet and cheeks as it was a nicer pink than the Promarker I had used. The patterned paper is a scrap from my bit box which was just the right size and colour I was looking for to go with the image I just had to trim some off the end. I love the butterfly pattern and am hoping, when I search through my stash, that I may have some full sheets left somewhere. If my memory is correct, they came in a pad free with a magazine. I glued the image to the paper then stamped the sentiment, from a Marion Emberson clear set, then used clear sparkle pen on the butterflies and elephant.
