Mama Elephant-Dandelion Wishes

June 27, 2018

Hi there! I’m back with Mama Elephant highlighting the Dandelion Wishes set.I used the Tri Window Cover Die to create the panel and blended distress inks in Blueprint Sketch, Mermaid Lagoon & Cracked Pistachio onto the background.
I colored the sweet images from Dandelion Wishes with Copics, added some accents with a white gel pen & used the coordinating dies to cut them out and pop them up onto the panel. This was a great way to use almost every single image in the stamp set.
Check out the Mama Elephant blog to see more of the adorable Dandelion Wishes set. Thanks so much for looking!

Mama Elephant-Creativity is Contagious

June 25, 2018

Hi there! I’m back with Mama Elephant highlighting the Creativity is Contagious set.I embossed the large scripty sentiment in clear onto Arches watercolor paper. Then I painted over the embossed sentiment using Pinkfresh Studio liquid watercolors (yes, I’m definitely addicted:) I stamped the large sentiment again using Salty Ocean to add the shadow.
I die cut the entire panel with the largest of the Basic Rectangle dies to add the faux stitching edge and added a coordinating embossed sentiment along with a few sequins.

Today is the Greatest

June 24, 2018

Hi there! Today I’m sharing a couple of projects featuring the fun new Good Vibes stamp set from the awesome new Good Vibes release by Simon Says Stamp.For the backgrounds I used Pinkfresh Studio Liquid Watercolors on Arches Cold Pressed Watercolor Paper. If you’re wondering how I painted these backgrounds, check out this video.
I embossed this fun image from Good Vibes over the gradient painted backgrounds.
I embossed the fun “peace-sign fingers” on a Metallic Schoolhouse Red envelope to coordinating with the card.
I think this card would work great for a birthday, graduation or many other types of celebratory occasions. Everyone needs some good vibes now and then, don’t ya think? Thanks so much for stopping by!
