I used a cuttlebug folder for the dry embossed tan background, and adhered it to a plain white card. The elephant and calf along with the words, I stamped in black dye ink on white card, before colouring with Tombow pens.
I then cut out part of a leaf on the background and secured the stamped image underneath, before adding a raffia knot. The binoculars was an unmounted stamp I found in my stash. All the other stamps are from Crafty Individuals UK.
I have decided to submit this to the tickets and tags challenge at

A perfect image for your wild card swap. Great coloring on your elephants, and your embossing on the background papers was so pretty. Loved the added leaf with the raffia bow - and wonderful touch to add the binoculars. TFS
