I used gold Imagination Crafts Sparkle Medium and an Imagination Crafts stencil to create the glittery background on gold pearl card, for a rich, luxurious look, it sparkles so much more in reality than the camera can capture.
I stamped and heat embossed the elephant with a Sheena Douglass stamp, and used Pumice Stone Distress Ink to colour him. Once dry, I flicked water at the image to create a mottled appearance, to add interest and texture to the skin. I then painted the cloth and head piece with Imagination Crafts Silkies, diluted with a little water, they have a lovely mica shimmer.
To finish off, I stamped a sentiment, again with with a Sheena Douglass stamp, cut out with a Spellbinders die.
I've been quite enjoying using CAS layouts lately, but making my "white space" anything but white, I've got "gold space" today!
