Or maybe that should be "Pink elephants on the hop" since we're blog hopping today. Don't worry, I'm not going to show you any scary cartoon sequences. What were those animators on - yikes! The pink elephants here are a darn sight cuter than Dumbo's hallucinatory experiences too, lol!
This is the second of my projects in the Cornish Heritage Farms and Shimmerz swap.
What's more girly than Bubblegum pink? Bubblegum pink with some shimmer, of course!
I found Shimmerz works well with watercolours so I added a little pink watercolour pencil to the lower part of each elephant and then used the paint to blend the pencil and colour the rest of each image. I decided not to add a sentiment just yet - I think this design would be cute with a personalised tag added when baby arrives - maybe pinned to a twill bow with a mini safety pin?
Here's a detail shot so you can see the shimmery pinkness here - super-girly huh?

The next stop on the hop is Kristine - she'd love to welcome you in sunny California to see what's Shimmering there!
I'll have one final Shimmerz project tomorrow which is very different from the two shown so far and then Friday I'll be serving up that fruit and veg I promised you last week ;)
Thanks for stopping by!
