Sketch Challenge #232

This is today's Sketch Challenge on Splitcoaststampers: http://www.splitcoaststampers.com/forums/showthread.php?t=441977 What a fun sketch to work with.

This adorable elephant was designed by Shawne Arnold and is called Patchpal Elephant and I used Patchpal Messages with it by Clear Dollar Stamps LLC: http://www.newcleardollarstamps.com/servlet/StoreFront

I paper pieced this cute elephant and placed him up on the nursery shelf. I was going for a vintage look so I sponged everything with Distress Ink. This was also my first attempt at coloring with pencils and using Odorless Mineral Spirits. I need practice. There always has to be a first right?!

Thanks for visiting.
