I’ve had something like this elephant piece in my head since I saw the Clock Works set. I could see the watch bit as an embroidery hoop and Ive finally tried it out! I even managed to do TWO challenges at the same time Colour Q and Try Stampin on Tuesday
Here was the inspiration:
I flipped the sketch around and made it my own but it still has the circle, the banner and the rectangle elements.
My colours were Tangerine Tango (sub for Dusty Durango) Crumb Cake (Kraft), Very Vanilla, Blush Blossom and Early Espresso for detail work.

Gotta love that faux stitching! I even “Back Stitched” the banners to the top of the card, just to make sure they were secure you understand : ) And can see that the elephant is two toned I have done a wee pic tutorial to show you how.
