It's my turn today for the Roc Nicholas design team and it's my first time playing with Roc's elephant stamp, whom I shall name Bob. After colouring Bob with Prismacolour pencils I thought that maybe he looked like he was ready to run away from the circus, so he snuck back in the big top and grabbed a balloon and is ready to go.
I started this postcard with a piece of plain white card, cut out a cloud and punched a star from that and glued them in place then I painted the background, stamped the details, a little washi tape and job done. The stamps I used are:
Rocs wonderful Ellie
and other Stampotique stamps:
Upward Bound (for the balloon)
and Texture Cube 1
All of Rocs great designs can be found right here and if you would like to see some of Rocs art her fab blog is here.
Wishing you a lovely day, Sam xxx
I dunno, Sam...I think it might take more than one balloon to get Bob off the ground! This postcard is so fabulous!
ReplyDeleteSam, I LOVE Bob! Even with his bright colour, he looks a little sad, so I hope he enjoys life away from the circus! Did I mention, I LOVE this postcard?
ReplyDeleteI love Bob in green, makes him look very dapper !
