Mama Elephant-Mini Everyday Messages

April 24, 2019

Hi there! Today I’m sharing this project over on the Mama Elephant blog featuring the Mini Everyday Messages stamp set.

Mama Elephant-Mini Everyday Messages, Little Mermaiden Agenda, Circular Grid

To begin I die cut a panel with the Scales Cover-Creative Cut and then blended it with Distress Oxide inks for a mermaid looking background. I also die cut a panel using the Circular Grid-Creative Cut onto white cardstock.

I embossed several sentiments from the Everyday Mini Messages in white onto the ink blended background an popped up the Circular Grid panel.

Then I added some adorable mermaids from the Little Mermaiden Agenda. They were stamped with Memento ink, colored with Copics and die cut using the Little Mermaiden Agenda Creative Cuts.

That’s all for today! Thanks so much for stopping by!

Video Hop on Water Media Mat

April 12, 2019

Hi there! Today I’m joining Waffle Flower for a video hop to showcase their amazing new Water Media Mat. I have been able to play around with this mat for a few weeks now and can honestly say that I love it!

I’ve created a project using the adorable Sweet Ice Cream stamp set by Waffle Flower. I stamped the images with Versafine Onyx Black Ink onto Bristol and colored the images in using Zig Clean Color Markers. Using the Water Media Mat was a dream. I scribbled a bit of color onto the mat, picked it up with a water brush and simply painted the images. Coming from a Copic lovin’ gal, I gotta say, this new type of media has me hooked!

I popped the painted panel over some Pinkfresh Studio pattern paper and added a few Nuvo Jewel drops for embellishment.

Here’s a video to show you how I created this project.
