I think this Rick St. Dennis image is hysterically funny and hate to admit that it's been in my collection for a while, unused. She may be a hot cha-cha dancer but she's no Carmen Miranda! I love the whole idea of an elephant in Spanish Dancer costume. :-D
I colored with ProMarkers, polychromos pencils, and gel pens. I added glitter to the diamonds on her costume and used white gel ink on all the pearls. The image is cut with an Unbranded die.
The turquoise CS is embossed with my "Linen" folder and added to the card front. I took a piece of patterned dp from another project (which went into the 'round file' after I saved some of the dp and embellies) and cut it with a border die from Spellbinders. I added it on top to the CS to make the upper triangle. I printed and hand cut the sentiment, matted it with the same recycled dp, then added the satin bow, complete with a pearl.
