A Flower Card Thank You

Hi Everyone! I created this card for the Hero Arts February Flower challenge. I'm sure it will be the first of many.

I paper pieced the Thank You cling stamp with lots of fun PTI and BoBunny papers. The leaves are colored with Copics and the Hero Arts pearls were colored with Sharpie pens to match the flowers. I found a coordinating flower image in the Artistic Borders clear set and stamped it in the background with VersaMark ink.

Its time for me to get back to my craftroom. Cleaning instead of creating tonight...its LONG overdue for a good reorganization!

Supplies:
Stamps: Hero Arts Thank You cling, Artistic Borders
Paper: PTI, BoBunny
Ink: VersaMark, Memories Black Dye
Other: Cuttlebug, Swiss Dots Embossing Folder, Hero Arts Pearls, Sharpie Pens, Copic Markers

Mama Elephant: November Stampede!

Welcome to the Mama Elephant Release Design Team blog hop! You should have arrived here from Geralyn's blog .  The newest release is now live and available for purchase in their store HERE ! The release is another knock out hit! Each stamp set is amazing! Today I'm featuring Cross My Heart and I sneaked in a few of the other sets too! ;) I started my card by die cutting the stitched index card . Then I cut out the window  which is designed to open. (cool, right?) I wanted a frame for my window so I die cut the window again and trimmed the side before adhering it to my index base. Then I backed my window with some cloud patterned paper for my outside sky. Next I stamped and die cut the cats from Purrfect Pair. I have had SO much fun with these cats. After adhering to cats to the window sill, I stamped and fussy cut the heart balloon. I tied some black floss around the balloon and adhere it to the kitten's paw. Finally, I stamped my sentiment.

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 !
