This was my "Masculine Birthday Card" contribution to one of my stamp group's quartely swap and it was originally inspired by Wild Heart from antoinette_b.
Directions:
Using Basic Black ink, wheel Heart of Africa at an angle over glossy white cardstock. I used the wheel guide, as I was making 15 of these.
Sponge inks by strategically highlighting areas while alternating colors (More Mustard, Forest Foliage, and Baroque Burgundy), then filling in the rest by spoging with warm colors (Close to Cocoa, Chocolate Ship and Really Rust). After fully covering the cardstock, seal with Krylon Acrylic Sealer and set aside to dry.
Use Basic Black Craft ink to stamp the elephant, then emboss with clear embossing powder. Sponge Summer Sun around the elephant to create the "light" effect, then complete sponging using Close to Cocoa, Creamy Caramel and Relly Rust.

All I can say is ditto. All the above ran through my mind BEFORE I read the comments. Creative minds think alike? I think creative minds appreciate other creative minds. Great card!
