Using Paisley Cartridge Images

I tried two different versions of this card layout.  The images are from the Paisley cartridge, cut on my Cameo.

This is my favorite of the two versions even though I forgot to add the black shadow layer to the word.

This is the first version.  I felt like it needed something to take up part of the striped background and added a simple border cut.

Elephant and Hearts Valentine

The elephant image is a free coloring page found online.

It was resized and printed using Hallmark Card Studio software and colored with Promarkers.

The sentiment is a stamp I've had for some time.

Elephant Card

The elephant is a Dustin Pike digital image that I colored with Promarkers.  I computer generated the sentiment on the front and inside.  The background paper is SU.

The inside sentiment is: " ...Just opened this card!  Have fun on your birthday!" and I stamped and colored a little image of a cake slice with a birthday candle.

I really, really enjoy using the Promarkers!  They have so many colors that it makes doing shading a snap!
