I totally adore the Papertrey Ink Enjoy the Ride stamp set so I decided to ink it up again!

This time I thought it would be fun to have the car driving through a tunnel. My oval Nestabilities made the tunnel super easy! I used a combination of die cuts for my grass (PTI Small Scallop) and dirt (PTI Ric Rac). The car was stamped on Lemon Tart Bitty Box paper and shaded with colored pencils and Copics (I do this A LOT to save time coloring). I finished it off with a few buttons, gems for the head lights and some polka dots.

Hope you have a great day! Thanks for stopping by!

Materials:
Stamps: PTI Enjoy the Ride, Polka Dot Basics II
Paper: PTI Smokey Shadow, Dark Chocolate, New Leaf, Aqua Mist, Lemon Tart Bitty Box Basics, Stampers Select White
Ink: VersaMark, Memento Tuxedo Black
Other: Gems, Hero Arts Buttons, Oval Nestabilites

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 !
