Hi stampers,

     Today's card project was made using the Lawn fawn " You Color My World"  Mini stamp set.

 I used SU basic black carstock for the card base, then Neenah desert storm card, which i stamped using the crayon stamp with versamark and WOW superfine bright white embossing powder which i heat embossed. 

I coloured the crayon images in with my Zig real colour brush markers, making it darker on the crayon bit and lighter where it would be the paper.

I then cut a square of basic black cardstock using the MFT cross stitched square dies, which i heat embossed with the wow bright white embossing powder. I then coloured in the word colour with a few of my spectrum noir alcohol markers. i also cut a strip of vellum and adhered that behind the die cut sentiment square and using my white gel pen created faux stitching around the edges.

thanks for stopping by

Happy STAMPING

Ella and friends by Mama Elephant

Hi Stampers, 

    For today's card I used  Mama Elephants "Ella and Friends " stamp set.

The card base is Stampin'Up's Basic Black cardstock cut at 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 

 Main layer is Ranger watercolour card, which i die cut using lawn fawn's small stitched rectangle dies ( the largest)   and did a technique I saw on you tube called smooshing !  I believe it was a video by  Laura Bassen.

what i did was grab a piece of acetate or you could you some old stamp packaging or an avery stamp pocket for this, I grabbed  my distress ink minis and pulled out peacock feathers, salty ocean and picked raspberry.  

I then smeared the pad on the acetate and spritzed with water and smooshed the acetate onto the watercolour card and repeated with all the colours let it dry and  then grab some water on my fingers and flicked it onto the background, this technique seems to wick away and colour under the water and if you use a paper towel to grab the excess water of you can get some lovely effects and voila a very pretty background.

I stamped the elephant and bunny on Neenah solar white card stock with momento tuxedo black ink, as i want to colour the character in with my Spectrum Noir alcohol markers. I coloured them in and then fussy cut them out.

I also stamped the sentiment with the momento tuxedo black in , in hindsight i would probably have used my ranger archival black ink as it is waterproof.

I adhered the fussy cut characters to the card front with foam tape to give it some dimenension. Finally I added some sequins  with my cosmic shimmer glue and the card is finshed.....

Sweet Kitty birthday wishes !

Hi stampers,

 For today's card project I used the papermania 4 x 4 little meow - you are lovely clear stamp and the  Glitter tape in gold.

Card base was cut a 4 1/4 X11 , scored at 5 1/2 , I used Stampin'Up's blackberry bliss cardstock for this.

I then cut a smaller layer of Blackberry bliss ( which I had randomly placed stripes of gold washi tape onto ) using the largest of lawn fawns small stitched rectangle dies and the stitched circle die from Mama elephants sew fancy creative cuts die set. 

I backed that with some of Stampin'Up's designer series paper. For the sentiment I used the May all your dreams come true from MFT's birthday bears stamp set and Stampin'Up's word quote dies.

I coloured the kitty using my spectrum noir markers and fussy cut it out.  The tiny bow was cut using MFT's blueprints no 26 Die set in Stampin'Up's coastal cabana cardstock.

MFT Have a Beary special day shaker card

Hi stampers,

 For today's card project , I decided I wanted to make a shaker card using the MFT birthday bears stamp set  and the mama elephant love quotes die

 I just love how it turned out! I used my spectrum noir markers to colour in the bears, balloons and presents. 

For the card base I used whisper white cardstock and for the layers I also used whisper white card  and  Stampin'Up's coastal cabana cardstock. Which I cut using the mama elephants basic die creative cuts.

For the shaker part I cut the aperture using the mama elephant love quotes die, to which I attached acetate I then surround the aperture area with foam tape making sure I was completely enclosed ,so all the shaker elements, sequins, seed beads etc would not escape ! 

I stamped the happy birthday sentiment onto the shaker backer and filled the shaker. I then place and adhered all the stamped coloured and cut elements onto the front of the card.

I finished of by adding texture with my white gel pen and finally adding glossy accents to the balloons and presents.

Once it was all dry I put the card together and voila the card is finished!
