I've had these for a while, and shamelessly, they've never been inked. In fact, I did ink it and stamp it last week, and it's been a bit of a labour of love to get it coloured, as I'd lost my mojo (along with a day last week!) and couldn't really be bothered to get it finished.. but I did tonight, and I'm really pleased with how it looks.
I coloured the dresses with markers before setting to and adding some pencil work over the top for extra shading.

Here's a little close up of some of the details. I've kept the design quite simple, just choosing colours that went with the image.. silly me - typically coloured then tried to match the paper! Hmmm... will remember to always do it the other way round... see, I told you it was a labour of love!!
I hope you like today's card... I love it... cute elephants and a simple design. Just booootiful!
Whatever cards you've been making today, I hope you've had a great time.. until next time - Happy Crafting!
