Jungle Book Topper and ABS

The Inspiration Challenges on SCS are always so interesting! You just never know where the inspiration will lead you! Today was a super duper one...from cakes! Yes, cakes...but not just any ordinary cake! These are works of art!! Take a look here.

This is the cake I chose to use, Jungle Book and I'm going to show you how I put it together.

I just love High Hopes Rubber Stamps, Crissy is such a talented artist! I started by watercoloring the images with reinkers and waterbrush, cutting them out and setting them aside.

Next, I used my Copic Airbrush System to lay down a subtle background color, stamped and watercolored the images.

Then I put the images all over, moving them around till I was happy with the layout, cutting leaves apart and opening up the elephant.

Next came the dimensionals (2 thicknesses), tape and glue. I fanned out the elephant's ears by holding them between my thumb and pointer finger and dragging my thumbnail along the ear.

As in the cake photo, I topped my card with the snake on Spellbinder's Labels 2.

Fun right?! Hope you have a terrific Saturday! It's chilly but the sun is shining brightly here.
