Birthday elephant

I think I do a better job when I am not trying so hard.  This is a birthday card for my mom-her birthday is next week and she will be 84 years old.  She had a major stroke a couple of years ago and is in a nursing home.  She remembers most things - but can't physically get around and her world has gotten so much smaller.  She was a very vibrant person - thus all the color (of course I love color too).  I just drew this and colored with Copic markers without worrying about whether it was good or bad.  I love whimsical animals and I am pleased with this.  I hope it makes mom smile.  Hope it makes you smile as well.  Thanks so much for stopping by.

    1. Thanks Valerie - I hope it does - I live 800 miles away (my brothers are local) and won't see her till October.

    1. Thanks Kristin - missing my mom. Got the card and gift out today - it will be a little late but unfortunately mom won't realize it. She's aware but not of dates.
