A queen was born | Mama Elephant

Hello everyone! I am back with a card inspired by another fairytale. This time Cinderella was the source of inspiration. I looked for several different Mama Elephant stamp sets to create this scene.

I stamped the images from 'little fairy agenda', 'organic bloom', 'lunar animals', 'Sunday stroll' and 'bootastic' with Copic proof black ink and colored the with Copic markers. Have I already mentioned that I love my huge Mama Elephant stash which I have collected over the time? :)

For the background I blended antique linen distress oxide ink directly on the white card base and added 2nd generation stamping using the same ink and flowers from organic bloom. I also used some smaller stamps from the little fairy agenda.

With the 'framed tags park avenue' die I created a frame for the scene. After that I adhered everything to the card base and added some shimmer with the wink of stella brush and also nuvo crystal drops in pink champagne.

Last but not least I added the perfect sentiment from 'birthday messages' and the card was all done.

Thank you so much for stopping by and enjoy the short photo story:

Once upon a time | Mama Elephant

Hello everyone! Today I share a card inspiration ft. the cute characters from Winnie The Pooh on the Stempelwunderwelt Blog. You can see the blog post here.

 I love being fascinated by a good story/book and this was the idea for today’s card. Sweet characters from „Winnie Pooh“ come to live (well, at least in thoughts). The little bookworm dog has already found a thrilled listener 

Thank you so much for stopping by and have a great day!

Lawnfawnatics Challenge No. 48 | Movie inspiration

Hello everyone! After preparing and having 2 workshops I was back at my crafting table. I am so in love with the current Lawnfawnatics Challenge "inspired by a book, movie or song" - it could be the whole year 'round :)

 I have wanted to create a card with characters from "The Princess and the Frog" for a while now and this was the perfect opportunity.

It was clear to me that I wanted to use the 'magic picture changer' die set on this card and so I prepared two little scenes for the "change" effect. The first one shows Tiana and Naveen as frogs and if you pull the tab the magic happens and Tiana and Naveen are humans again. I used many different stamp sets for this card: 'toadally awesome', 'bicycle built for you' and 'mermaid for you' (for the crown) were used for the two little changing scenes. I did some masking and ink blending with distress oxide inks and colored the images with Copic markers. For the pond I created a DIY mask with the 'bayou backrdop' dies. 

I used the same oxide colors on the frame from the 'magic picture changer add-on' set and also on the background. I blended some green distress oxide too to receive a green bayou frame. 

After that I stamped and colored a bunch of other images from 'little fireflies', 'hats off to you', 'critters down under', 'critters in the jungle' and 'screen time'. 

Then I assembled the magic picture changer and adhered it with foam tape onto my background. I added some of the images directly on the picture change and some of them directly on the background to create more dimension.

Last but not least I added some stars with a white gel pen. I really love how the card turned out but it also took me a while that the frame, background and picture changer scenes all fit together nicely.  However, I had a lot fun and enjoyed the process - the possibilties are just endless :)

Here is also a short photostory, showing the main steps:
