This is my sample for Cathy's WTUI challenge which you will be able to find HERE .
My little elephant was stamped on watercolour paper and coloured with Polychromos pencils. After choosing background paper, I sponged the Lacy Circles die-cut with antique linen to look better, and also stamped the white card base with flourishes. The flowers and foliage were cut from scraps from the same pad ( and that's it finished up, now), with dots of Liquid Pearls in the flower centres. No bonus points for me on this one, but I had a lot of fun making it. And, surprisingly , DH really likes it.

Everything about this is super duper cute Sabrina. I love the little image and the fabulous DP layers. This must look even more special in real life with the subtle background stamping, fancy die cut circles and flowers. I thought your stitching was real until I read you used a gel pen. Thanks for the reminder that I own a corner chomper too LOL.

I love all the lace and loops and bubbles and movement. Great coloring too, with that soft transition between the ear and the body. Wonderful card.
It's cool how you ask DH - I always ask my DH too. I am guessing by your comment that your DH has no hesitation telling you when he doesn't like something as much. That's true in my house too. He keeps me honest LOL.

Ah, Sabrina, this is so sweet and dear, and your elephant is darling! I LOVE her and love your DP and how it transitions to the base. Beautifully done, sweet friend! Hugs! xoxo

This is just adorable. They are lovely papers; I have a pad I love that's nearing the end, and you've given a good example of how to use up all the good bits.
