(Elephant from) Ups & Downs Tin Game

Welcome back!! Or at lease welcome back to me. The school season will be starting so that means summer play is over and I’ll have more time at my crafting desk. Today I’m sharing a simple card I made using one of the elephants from the Tin Games – Ups & Downs from Whimsy Stamps. I also used the sentiment from that stamp so this would be a nice card to send to someone who is having a hard time – because life is full of ups and downs.

I kept the colors simple and monopolizing on the gray tones for a sympathy vibe. Then I added just a little color with the greens and yellow. The card was created using a base layer plus a layer in between – that layer was colored with Copic markers in the same color as the elephant. This makes for a simple card using minimal supplies.
