Sad little elephant

The image for this month's  Freebie Challenge at Dragons Lair Designs is a cute little elephant. He looked a little sad to me so I made him into a 'Missing You' card, although I think he would work equally well as a 'Sorry' card.

Materials used: 
Dragons Lair Designs Digi Stamp (request the image from the Dragons Lair Designs Facebook Page)
X-Press It card
red and black card
white A5 card blank
Copic pens

Rather than print my sentiment separately, this time I composed the whole card as a single layer before printing it out.

I chose to mat it on the red to give a bit of colour to the card. I think it makes the elephant stand out a bit more having the contrast between the bright red and the grey.

The quote from Dr Seus is from one of my favourite books of his, 'Horton Hatches The Egg'. If you have not read it I thoroughly recommend that you do. It will not take long and even though it is a children's book the message behind it is true for eveyone. If you have already read it, or if you do read it as a result of reading this, I would love to know what you thought of it.


Thanks for dropping by. Take care.
