Elephant

The challenge over at CAS on Sunday is for a shaped card.
I decided to try to make a card from an elephant cut file which I bought from Silhouette. I enlarged it, copied it,  flipped one of them and then welded to two shapes together. His ear was a complete cut out shape and not quite knowing how to eradicate one part of the ear shape I merely discarded that and drew another so that it would just flap and remain attached on the front edge.
He's stamped with a Crafty Individuals crackle stamp in Memento London Fog and then dusted with Weathered Wood Distress Ink. I've sort of obliterated his toes with my watermark, but I made them from tiny punched half circles. His eye is made from die-cut detritus.
