Bella-issimo

Hello folks, I have a couple of little elephant cards to share with you today - no challenges to enter, both are just because.

You will no doubt have seen lots of the new Wild Rose Studio summer collection being showcased by the very talented Kate over at Downrightcrafty and showcased in such an amazing way that I am adding Kate to my "bad influence" list!

This one is Bella with Dahlia

Painted with Distress Inks (ReInkers)

Sentiment is Personal Impressions

Matting layers from leftovers box

And this is Bella with Teddy

Again, painted with Distress Inks

That fabulous large sentiment is Hero Arts

Papers are an old Craftwork Cards pack Tutti Frutti

Martha Stewart border punch to finish

I am never really sure what colour an elephant should be - when you watch wildlife films they can be anything from red to almost black, but for the purposes of painting I have used the Weathered Wood Distress Ink, which is a lovely soft blue-grey.

Well, it is back to work for me tomorrow (sigh) so I hope those of you on holiday for this half term week have a super time.

Hugs, Squirrel xx
