Paper Smooches Sparks Challenge - Cool Shades

Hi Everyone! Its the start of a new Paper Smooches Sparks Challenge! This week its all about these fun colors...
 

(tangerine, deep orange, lime, lemon)
 
Here is my take...
 

 
I used Metropolis to create this trendy city scene. Just a few quick tips... First, I masked off the bottom line of the city stamps so I could make the building appear taller. Second, I trimmed one of the buildings on the dark orange level to add a little variety to the scene.
 
Hope you join in the fun this week!
 
AND don't forget to check out the other Sparks DT cards...

Ashley, this card is SO mod!! I love the different colors and patterns in the cityscape, and the twine tied around the bottom is the perfect touch :)

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...
