Lee Holland - Elephant with Flower for Deep Ocean Challenge

Hi everyone! I hope your week is going well.
Welcome to a new challenge over at Deep Ocean Challenge, this time we would like to see your makes with Dots and/or Stripes. Easy right? Your project can be anything, it just needs to have spots or stripes (or both) visible somewhere on your make.

I used both for mine, I have striped design paper and spotty ribbon, plus some added 'extra' with these enamel dots.

For my card today (it's CAS again, don't faint!), I used this adorable Lee Holland image from Whimsy Stamps, isn't he adorable?

I just love colouring up these cute animals in unusual colours, and I chose lilac (my fav as your know) and pink today and made his huge flower a lovely bright pink. I have to admit that for once I coloured the image before picking out my papers, but that's quite rare for me.
He's coloured with distress ink markers in the following colours:

Shaded Lilac, Spun Sugar, Victorian Velvet, Picked Raspberry and Pumice Stone. (I'm afraid I can't remember which green I used, it may have been Shabby Shutters).

I stamped out my sentiment on some white card and then cut it into sections and popped them up on some foam tape. This was initially because I couldn't get the sentiment to fit on the frame as it was, without it being partially obscured by the Ellie, but I rather like the look of how it turned out.

We would love to see you join in with our challenge,

you can win this great prize
