This week we are welcoming the lovely Alison Bomber aka Words and Pictures into the Designer Spotlight. If you haven't visited her blog before then you are in for a real treat!

I made a card featuring super cute Katzelkrafts Van Gogh Elephant and Flamingo stamps.

I spritzed the background with Tumbled Glass Stain and then stamped some clouds in Spun Sugar Ink before over stamping and White Heat Embossing more clouds. She then used a Tim Holtz Leafy Stencil to add some greenery. I coloured the images with Distress Inks and fussy cut and shaped the Elephant and accessories. I stamped and masked the Flamingo while I was making the background. 

I love how the elephant used his trunk to paint the flamingo! didn't he do a great job!! ;-) He was going to paint a sunflower but changed his mind when the flamingo came walking along with her beautiful bright pink feathers ;-) 

and I made an envelope to match 

Thanks for looking :-)
