How fun is this? Ignore the copper embossing; while I love the new copper embossing powder, it really doesn't work on this project, but I couldn’t find the white (it was before the Big Craft Sort).
Instead, concentrate on the main image. For this, I masked the elephant, then spattered paint all over the background. I did this at a Crafty Friday event and, again, took inspiration from one of my customers. Kate made a splattered background around her elephant image and we decided it looked like the elephant had done it with a paintbrush. So, between us, we carefully drew in a paintbrush - and I loved the effect so much that I just had to make my own version.

I love, love it. Can you please give more details about how to go about creating a splattered background. How small is the paint brush do you just shake the brush or what. The mask do you cut out a shape of the elephant and then use a temporary adhesive to adhere the same shape on top to protect the underneath elephant. Just beautiful!
