Mama Elephant-May 2017 Stampede


Welcome to the Mama Elephant Design Team blog hop!
Our newest release is now live and available for purchase in the store!

My project features The Cat’s Meow stamp & die set.Mama Elephant-The Cat's MeowYou can never have too many cats, right? My little Emma said, “Mom, why are you coloring the cats pink & purple?” and I said, “Because I like them that way.” Whatever floats your boat, right? I stamped two rows of cats and colored them with Copics.
Mama Elephant-The Cat's MeowIt was easy to stamp two rows of cats to make a big happy crowd of kittens. Then using the coordinating dies, I partially die cut only the top of the cats and popped the panel up over some pattern paper. The sentiment is from the Sweetest Greetings set.
