This is my second card for this weeks Midnight Madness Sketch Challenge: http://priscillastyles.blogspot.com/
and it is quite different from the first one, more 'whimsical' I love the fact that the same sketch can look so different depending on the image and your creativity. this darling little 'Eris the Elephant' ( well, maybe not so little IRL) is Sew Many Cards - Eris is just adorable and won my heart from the first clink on the site.
I have coloured her with SU Chalks and a Blender Pen, cut her out and popped her up on foam dots. The side panels are NOT INKED (imagine that!! LOL!) but are layered onto black CS, as is the main DP.
I have added ribbon and the gorgeous flowers that were sent to me by Sabrina (aka okimom2girlz) who keep me supplied with the white flowers - thank my friend - you keep me going! LOL! I have added pearls either side to give the impression of corners!
Here in Australia we just LOVE baby elephants right now, we have had 2 babies born in our zoos in the last year - the lates addition is a little girl born earlier this year - awww - they are so adorable and we eagerly watch any footage of them we can - they bring our house to a stand still and to absolute silence - which is a MAJOR achievement at the best of times!

Lovely little elephant Linda. I just wasn't sure this was really your card, you know I kind of still remember that Deb Wood prank you pulled, so I thought someone else had created this. Very pretty, love the pink and soft chalking. TFS my friend.
