Play Date Cafe Challenge 64

Have followed this blog for quite a while now, and thought it was time to play along! So here's my first effort for you guys.
My background is inked up using a mixture of tumbled glass, weathered wood and black soot distress inks, with the Tim Holtz "Lifes adventure" elephant stamped over the top in brushed corduroy. The image was then attached to the steel grey stardeam card with some Anna Griffin photo corners, the edges of the card were then darkened with black soot and gems were added.  Hope I'm worthy Girls.
