Lucy's Sketch Challenge

Hi Everyone! I loved following Lucy's sketch week and I thought it would be fun to play along with one of her sketches. This is what I came up with using Sketch #3.


I paper pieced part of Penny Black's Butterfly Kissed stamp. I'm trying to embrace more patterened papers so I shopped in my stash and found a few subtle patterns that I love. I really like Penny Black's To You sentiment but it was a little bigger than I needed for this card so I just inked up the "Happy Birthday".



Hope you are having a good weekend! Thanks for stopping by!

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 !
