Hi there! I’m back with Mama Elephant highlighting the Peaceful Wishes stamp set. I’ve created a festive little gift ensemble to share with you.
I embossed the large scripty sentiment in white onto red cardstock and then die cut it using the Favor Bag die. I also embossed one of the doves onto Navy cardstock and made a cute little tag for the Favor bag using the Winter Taggins dies.
For the card I used some Pinkfresh Studio pattern paper and added a sentiment from Peaceful Wishes. I also added a red bloom from the December Days Ephemera pack.

Wednesday Sketch Challenge-Sketch 355
October 18, 2017
Hi there! I’m back with another weekly Sketch Challenge!
For this week’s sketch(below) I used the Die-namics Scenic Snow Globe along with the Die-namics Joy for the sentiment.
I used solid colored cardstock and glittered cardstock for the snow on the rooftops & hills.
One thing that is fun about sketch challenges is that it forces you to try layouts that you never would have thought of and to look at your supplies and stretch your brain.
Play along with this week’s challenge for your chance to win a $50 gift voucher to My Favorite Thinks!

Mama Elephant-Whimsical Winter
October 18, 2017Hi there! I’m back with Mama Elephant highlighting the adorable Whimsical Winter stamp set.
I adore these images! I simpy stamped them with Memento ink, colored them with Copics and used the coordinating dies to cut them out and pop them up onto my card base. I did blend some very light Mama Elephant pigment ink on the background for a subtle ground & sky.

For the sweet images I used the Polar Pals set and for the sentiment I used Snowglobe Sentiments.
