I inked the Elephant with Chocolate Chip ink then Versamark on Confetti CS by SU, and then I clear embossed it. I also stamped the sentiment the same way. I backed the elephant image with Chocolate Chip CS from SU using the torn frames technique from the Technique Junkies. I punched the edges of the middle panel with a 1/16" punch and used a #18 Tapestry needle and wove in my recent purchase that coordinates nicely-jute- to give it a touch of embellishment.
I have two Versamark pads- a suggestion from Michelle Zindorf- one is 'clean' and one is used for stamping in after the image has been stamped in another color (and I bought them 1/2 off at Hobby Lobby- I love saving $$$).........

The paper is a perfect match for the elephant image!

Great card!
Adorable elephant! Love the decorations on your house, they look great
Love this monochromatic card. The stitched jute is the perfect embellishment. Great idea to have 2 versamark pads, then I'd be willing to try that stamp in ink, then versamark technique, thanks for sharing that idea.
shelley, the paper stamps techniques all perfectly matched...what an awesome card.
