I've chosen to do an elephant's bottom! I'm not sure how or why I have a stamp of an elephant's bottom, but here it is, complete with a tiny bird (an egret? I've only seen them on water buffalo but it looks like one) hitching a ride on his back.
I stamped, coloured and fussy cut the elephant, then my original plan was to make a watercoloured savannah scene and have him heading off into the sunset, but I was having a "nothing works" day and abandoned the watercolour in favour of a far more CAS design. Now he is heading off into a very stylised sunset created by inking the Gentleman Crafter's brushed circle stamp with yellow ink and then dabbing an orange inkpad around the edges of the stamp. The sentiment is one row of a stamped sentiment from a Dylusions set.
Let's see what ideas for body pars YOU come up with - pop over to Twofers to share them with us, remember that as usual we want to see some stamping and no digis.

Great card, Jane! I think now I've seen everything! I'm trying to imagine being a stamp artist and mulling over all the possible ideas for a stamp I might create and, you know what? I'd have to say the rear-ends of critters might be just the sort of thing I would think of! Bwahahaha! In all seriousness, the way you used it walking off into a brilliant African sunset with it's wee bird is really terrific!! Enjoy your day! Hugs, Darnell
