Stamp Something Challenge

Good morning! Today's Stamp Something Challenge is sponsored by Layers of Color. This week we have a sketch for you smile. Denise sent some Layers of Color images to those of us who wanted to use them. The images I used came from the set Polka Dot Parade. These images are so cute that after I finished my card, I couldn't resist making another!









I actually used some really old retired Bliss Blue cardstock on this one. It looked better with the colors of the image than Bashful Blue. I colored the elephant with B21 & B32. I just used the B32 which is what I shaded with to make the dots so dark. I just kept going back over them until they were dark enough. I love that about Copics! It looks like another color.
