The colors appear less intense in the photo then they actually are. For some reason I always get a washed out look and this seemed to be the closest one I finally captured.
I colored the digital image in with the Zig Watercolor markers using the florescent colors of pink, yellow, orange and green. The elephant was colored in with the light gray. After the image was colored I die cut it with a scalloped circle die. I placed this on a black panel which was embossed using the Darice Honeycomb folder. I also die cut it with a cross stitched border die. This black panel was added to a similar green colored card base.
I thought that was just too plain so I die cut some zig zag chevrons from white card stock that I colored in first with the Zig markers of orange and yellow. These were added to the right and left corners. The card was finished by adding some tiny shamrock fingernail decals onto the black panel.
Dies used:

I don't think I have ever made a 'No White' Card, ever, good for you! I do love him! Great use of your Zigs and that zig zag die! Thanks so much for playing along with us at The Double D Challenge Blog, Donna, DT Member.
Super card Verna. Can you please send some mojo this way?
Reallly neat card, it stands out in a crowd. Fun use for your markers!
Oh, gosh, I forgot about St. Patrick's Day. What a cute image and design! Colorful and fun, and really pops on the black. What a great idea to use the fingernail decals as card embellishments. Brilliant! Thanks for joining us at Double D, Verna. It's always a pleasure to see you there.
Wow, you have really done those Zigs justice. LOVE what you have done with that sweet little elephant. Well done!!!
Well,Verna you did it, a no white card. Congratulations!!! And it is so neat. I have never done anything with florescent colors, but I sure love this; it is absolutely JAZZY! The colors don't look washed out at all, I don't think!! I love the way you did the two corners, too. They look like ric rac alright.
Super cute Verna and a delightful design! Thank you for joining our challenge at Double D!
