Peel Offs

My friends neighbour has been in India with her husband for the last four years. He was asked to go there for a special job and she always goes with him. It has taken very much longer than anticipated and they cannot wait to get home. Not having anything in my craft room with an Indian theme I got these peel offs of ceremonial elephants. The background is made using peel offs which are based on the pattern made when using henna to paint on the hands etc. I lightly stuck them to background card then used light brown chalk to cover the area. On removing the peel off you are then left with a relief of the pattern. The elephants I have painted with distress inks. So peel offs do have their place in crafting.
