I colored the image with Copic markers then went over the flower and stems with the pencils. (My DH gave me a full set of Prismacolor pencils for Christmas - I suspect there will be a LOT of coloring from me this year!) I sponged the edges of the plaid, natural and green panels with the natural ink; it seemed sparse without that. Last I added the button and sequins.
The most difficult part of this challenge was picking out the plaid - too many to choose from. I love plaid and have quite a bit of plaid DSP. One of the great things about plaid is that it gives you an instant color palette. I actually picked out my stamp after I chose the paper.

Oh my - your elephants couldn't be any cuter. Kudos on your coloring - I'm still somewhat challenged using the grays - hence why my hedgie are almost always brown. You've nailed it!
