My Elephant was stamped with bleach and then over stamped with black permanent ink. The background was created using two Cuttlebug embossing folders.

Wowezers! That is an awesome job on the challenge. What a terrific card. So full of texture - great job on the using the cuttlebug as a base and then making them your own with the colour!
