Never Forget...

The card I made for the Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge #117 provided the inspiration for my card.
 
 
 
The image of an Indian elephant was stamped onto a grid of hexagons. The coloring was done using Spectrum Noir markers highlighted with clear Wink of Stella. The hexagons were backed with craft foam and popped up on a panel of yellow glitter paper. This was adhered to a white card base covered with a panel of turquoise glitter paper.
 
A larger hexagon was stamped, die cut  and colored, then backed with the
yellow glitter paper and craft foam and adhered in the lower left corner. In
keeping with the sketch, three pink gems were added to the top right corner. The inside of the card was stamped and colored to match the sentiment.
