Mama Elephant Carried Away Part two

Here is another card that I made with the Mama Elephant stamp set, Carried Away.    I created a background using this tutorial from My Favorite Things using Distress inks, Sunshine Stencil and cloud border stencil.  

Once I made the background, I colored the stamped images with Copic markers and cut them out with my Brother Scan and Cut 2.    The background panel was cut with My Favorite Things Blueprints 15 to create a stitched border around the panel.   

Stamps:  Mama Elephant Carried Away

Inks: My Favorite Things Hybrid Black Licorice, Distress Inks: Scattered Straw, Broken China

Papers: MFT Summer Splash, Copic Xpress it, Bristol 

Tools: MFT Sun ray stencil, Mama Elephant Landscape trio, Wink of Stella Clear, Copics, Brother Scan and Cut 2

Mama Elephant - Carried Away

I will be sharing three cards created from the Mama Elephant Carried Away Stamp set.  First up,  I created this card.

I wanted the background to look like a city building and he was being carried up into the sky.   I made the background using My Favorite Things English Brick Wall Stencil.   I used Distress inks in Pumice Stone and Weathered Wood.  I used some Salty Ocean on the sides of the panel.   The panel had been cut with My Favorite Things Blueprints 13 Stitched panel and I used Bristol card stock.   It is great when you are blending Distress inks and has a smooth finish. 

The sentiment was stamped with My Favorite Things Hybrid Black Licorice ink on Smooth White card stock and cut with the Mama Elephant Landscape Trio die for the cloudy border.  I also cut a Vellum Cloud border but it was mostly covered up with the large ballon.   You can barely see it peeking out from under the white border.  

The images were colored on Xpress it Copic Blending card stock and then cut out with my Brother Scan and Cut 2.   The balloon, boy and bear were popped up with the sentiment panel with foam tap.   The main panel was adhered directly to the card stock A2 panel.    I added some Clear Wink of Stella to the balloon, scarf and teddy bear for a little sparkle. 

Stamps:  Mama Elephant Carried Away

Papers: Recollections White (base), MFT Smooth White (sentiment),  Bristol (panel), Copic Xpress it (images), Vellum

Lucky - Thinking of you

We are getting closer to St Patrick's Day so I pulled out a My Favorite Things Pure Innocence Stamp 4 Leaf Clover (retired) to make a thinking of you card.    I colored the image on some Neenah 80 lb Solar White card stock with Copics and cut out the panel with the Wonky Stitched stax.   The sentiment stamp is from Simon Says Stamp Sending Happy stamp set.  This is a semi one layered card with the panel popped up on some craft foam.    I finished off with some details, Wink of Stella on her barrette and clover and Pico Embellisher in Clear to add some small dimension and sparkle.

You have my heart, my sister's birthday

Hey everyone!  Hope that you are having a fabulous day.   It has been a beautiful sunny weekend and it feels like spring is right around the corner.    My trees are bursting with beautiful pink flowers!

Here is a card that I created for my sister's birthday using My Favorite Things Birdie Brown's You have my heart stamp set.    She loves dogs and cats.   I just love this little image of the girl and dog looking at one another.     I colored her with blond hair using copic markers and colored the dog the same color as her dog.    The sentiment set is from Lawn Fawn, Baked with Love.    The sentiment was curved to match the curve of the main focal image.

I masked the image with Inkadinkadoo masking paper and masked the card to take a Sunshine stencil and create a pink circle of sunshine around the image.   The panel was cut with MFT Wonky stitched rectangle stax.

Birthday Elle

Here is a quick birthday card using the set Adorable Elephants.    Such a cute set.  I watercolored a background using Peerless watercolors and some Arches Cold Pressed Watercolor paper.   The images were stamped on Copic Xpress it card stock and colored with Copic Markers.    I cut them out with my Brother Scan and Cut 2.   The sentiment was stamped directly on the watercolor paper using my MISTI to allow for repeat stamping to get a solid image.   The flowers were colored in with my Zig Clean Color markers. 

Stamps:  My Favorite Things Adorable Elephants

Inks: MFT Hybrid Black Licorice

Papers: PI Kraft, Arches Cold Press Watercolor, Copic Xpress it
