I used the sketch by Itecler for the CAS challenge today. I love these cute elephants. I couldn't resist embossing the bg with some circles to pick up on the circle from the sketch. I used a home-made Texturz plate (you can see it in the foreground) that I made with punched circles using directions from this tutorial http://dostamping.typepad.com/dostam...-big-shot.html . I sponged a bit of color over the embossing to make it show up better. I paper pieced some ears for my sweet elephants, sponged on the edges and layered the image on Basic Grey and Pretty in Pink cs.

This is so, so super sweet! I just love how you used the sketch. What a great idea to make your own embossing plate--the results look SO cool!!
