Great sketch challenge. Such a fun one...Thanks Roxie.
I don't think this scan is doing this justice...the colors are off - the bubbly layer looks blue, but it's actually almost amethyst. Used te Petals jumbo wheel on the Certainly Celery part but it isn't showing up. Sorry 'bout that. All the colors look better IRL.
My inspiration for this came from mytime's Gallery at Splitcoaststampers. It's simply adorable with fabulous colors. After I saw it I just had to have this stamp too.
I haven't decided just how I'm going to use it so haven't added any sentiment on it. Perhaps, a happy hello, or welcome spring or something like that or maybe for a cheery get well.
Thanks for looking. Comments and suggestions always welcome.

OMG! This card is so, so cute! I love how the sunflower you showcased on the side matches his little boquet...And the colors are wonderful, so springy and nice. He's acting a little worried or maybe scared of the butterfly...my thinking is that this is most definately a baby elephant and possibly the first time he has seen a butterfly! Happy Easter!

LOVE this! That elephant is just adorable! Wonderful job with your coloring and I love how you used the flower to coordinate with the stamp! I can't wait till I can get the bubble embossing folder! LOVE how it looks! Great job all-round!!

Caught my attention immediately. Absolutely adorable card. Love the image and the coordinating flower on the side. Saving this one for sure. I think that bubbly embossing folder is just enough to cause me to want a cuttlebug. Your card is wonderful.
