Cool elephant trick

I showed you my least favorite stamp in the "under the big top" set, now I will show you my favorite.  I love the lines of this elephant, but one was not enough to command this card, so I considered how to get more of them on here.  Circus elephants can do this, right?

I have to say that I tried it both ways, and fussycutting 3 elephants is easier than masking.

I had fun practicing my copic coloring, and I got to cut into to some papers I had purchased a while back but hadn't yet used.  The bright colors really work with the circus theme, I think.  It's so loud as it is, it doesn't need any embellishment.  I made this card for the sketch challenge at Blessings Ink and these others:
