a really small gang

so, i made another card for the mama elephant challenge!
honestly, it's the best colors, and the winner gets a spot on the challenge design team...um...HELLO! so i know it's a long shot, but i had to play along...again! :)


and without further ado, here's my card:


i heat embossed the triangles in the background from the today was stamp set. i made my own pattern with the triangles by selectively inking up part of the stamp with versamark ink. then i watercolored the background with my distress inks, peacock feathers, tumbled glass and shabby shutters.


the little fish are from the cosmic stars stamp set. LOVE them! they're so cute!! i even added some perfect pearls as shadowing. who doesn't love a little gold, right?! :) and then i chose the sentiment from the good times stamp set; one of my favorite sets! love the sayings!! so FUN!! and totally mama elephant!

lastly, i just added a few circle wood veneers (read: bubbles) and popped up the whole panel on the card base! so FUN! i just love this card! 
enjoy!
