My great nephew loves animals and so I thought I would do a circus themed birthday card for him.
I received this set of Coloring images day by day calendar and this is the first I have used out of it, you can find it HERE. It is cheaper on Amazon :) It comes with a set of pencils but I thought I would try using my Spectrum markers on them and see how it works and I think it did quite well, since it is thin paper I glued it to a piece of cardstock before cutting it out to add to the card.
The first picture showed quite the shine from the sparkle pen I used on the sun, so I took a side view picture of it also.
Day by Day Coloring Calendar image-- Elephant, colored w/ Spectrum markers
Sassafras - Apple Jack paper
Spellbinders -- A2 matting basics A and Lg. classic inverted scalloped circle dies
Fiskars -- grass punch
Spectrum sparkle pen -- clear on sun
Thanks so much for taking the time to stop by today, love hearing from you when you do,

Oooh what a pretty card! Love the fantastic colors and that fabulous elephant! We took our daughter and 2 small nieces (3 & 4) to the circus in Boston right after the revamped the Boston Garden....needless to say we kind of broke one of those glow-in-the-dark necklaces and the brand new chairs glowed long after we left. It was a GREAT show!!!
What a fun, sweet card, Connie! It's beautifully designed, with so many happy colors! Wishing you a fantastic weekend! hugs, de
Just a darling design Connie.

Really cute!
Wow, this is such a cute kid's card with all the colors and cute paper. Love the circus elephant, and you colored it beautifully. The last circus show is the end of an era, for sure. More people unemployed, but the elephants are glad, probably.
This is so cute!! Reminds me of the Ring Bros. and Barnum and Bailey circus which is now a thing of the past...so sad!
Thanks so much for stopping by!
Hugs,

Such a pretty, bright card! I love the elephant, a great expression on his face!
So sad that many circuses are no more. I always loved going to the circus as a little girl. I adored seeing the animals the the death-defying acts. Your card is so very cute. The elephant is a perfect choice as the star attraction.
This is super cute Connie! What a great idea to use a coloring page. The image is so darling and you did the background perfect!
Cute, cute, cute. The colourful blanket on the elephant is so well done. I like how you added the grass. I also have a day by day colouring calendar. I really should colour them up like you did. Have a nice rest of your weekend.
cute, colorful card!!! what a great idea!!!!
What a cool card Connie! Love the great scene. That elephant is amazing.
Oh how fun! Love your adorable elephant and the great papers you paired it with! Super cute card!
