Inspired by Jenn

Hey Everyone! I'm back! I took a little break from posting and blogging in December but I was still creating and peaking at all my favorite blogs. So I'll jump right back in and share a card I made that was inspired by the talented Jenn Biederman.

I put a little Jenn in my style by using rich muted tones, distress ink and even black machine stitching! :)

It was fun to take on this little self imposed challenge! Congrats on your Win a Day Jenn!
I'll be back tomorrow to share more! Happy New Year!

Materials:
Stamps: Hero Arts Cloud Background, Four Leaf Grid, Cling Dots, Be Happy
Ink: VersaMark, Black Memories Dye, Distress Ink
Paper: PTI, Bazzil
Other: White Pen, Machine Stitching, Prisma Color Pencils

Mama Elephant: October Anniversary Stampede!

It's Mama Elephant Birthday Stampede time!  This is so awesome, right? I'm so excited you've joined me from Stephanie's blog! Today I'm a sharing a lot of stamping goodness! Now that I'm counting, my card uses 4 new Mama Elephant stamp sets ! This card all started with the sentiment. My kids are always buzzing around the house singing and one of their favorite is Everything is Awesome (Lego Movie anyone?). :) I started with a faint pencil line to create AWESOME from the new Block Party Letters . I colored them in with Copics and then did some creative masking and stamping from Happy Everything to add the beginning of the sentiment. Next I stamped the penguin and hat (from the new Artic Penguins ), colored them and die cut them for a perfect cut. The soft, grey striped background was created using the new Boutique Borders . All stamps and dies can be purchased NOW at the Mama Elephant store HERE . Next up? The very talented JJ Bolton !

Mama Elephant March Stampede!

Welcome to the Mama Elephant Release Design Team blog hop! Our newest release is now live and available for purchase in the store! www.mamaelephant.com I am so excited to share the new stamp set Ella & Friends with you! There are so many fun images to choose from in this set that all centers around the BEST elephant stamp ever. ;) I started my scene by stamping the elephant, then I masked in the bunny and bubble blower. Finally, I stamped the bubbles, puddle and splashes. I was SO fun to create. I colored the images with Copics and added a little ink to complete my scene. I trimmed it down to fit inside of the Instalove Creative Cuts and stamped the sentiment. I know you'll agree that stamping this set is super fun but first...
