I paper pieced this cute ellie and sponged for a vintage look. Using a pen and ruler I mad lines for the nursery shelf that ellie is sitting on. I tried coloring with prisma pencils and blending with stumps and OMS for the first time. I'm sure you can tell it is my first time. Hee Hee. TFL

Oh Lisa, I love your paper piece patch work elephant. He is just darling! You did a mighty fine job on your first prisma w/gamsol coloring. Looks pretty darn good to me. Such a sweet fun card. Love it! TFS :0)
