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:

Believe | Mama Elephant

Hello everyone! Yesterday the confirmation of my niece took place. The one-layer card that I show you today was made especially for this occasion.

I used a white piece of cardstock, diecutted with the third largest die from 'Basic rectangles' (Mama Elephant) for my background paper. The Misti stamping tool helped me to position everything correctly. I started with stamping the sentiment from 'His love' and the cute bunny from 'Wish upon a star'. Then I masked off the bunny (I had just diecut the bunny from a piece of masking paper) and stamped the beautiful, detailed cross again from His love.

I also created a mask for the cross and blended a very soft pale blue color around the cross and bunny. Then I colored in the image with Prismacolor pencils and and added some dots to the pale blue backround.

Last but not least I chose a blue metallic cardstock and matted the background on a white sparkle cardstock. 

I really love how the softness turned out on this card and my niece really liked it :)

Here is a short photostory about the process:

Thank you so much and have a beautiful day!

Lawnfawnatics Challenge 53: Spectacular skies

Hello everyone! I am participating again in a Lawnfawnatics challenge. The topic of the 53th challenge is "Spectacular skies".

First I thought about creating a sunset and a nice beach scene with the new stamps and dies. But then while listenting to some volbeat music I got the idea of a zombie-pirate type of card.

I started with the background by creating some DIY stencils. I used the 'porthole frames' die set to create a stencil for the moon and I used the 'simple stitched hillside borders' for the beach scene. I thought about doing a one-layer background but then I decided to adhere the beach on top of the background so that I can tuck in some images behind the beach.

For the spectacular sky I used scattered straw, twisted citron, mowed lawn, peeled paint and black soot distress ink. I absolutely love this combination because it looks like it is glowing. I added some water mixed up with pumic stone and antique linen distress ink to the moon.

The colors for the beach include antique linen, brushed corduroy, ground espresso and black soot. To add some sandy hills I used the 'sandy beach accents' dies. The same colors were used for two palm trees which I diecut with the new set 'hammock and tree'. 

After the background had been finished I stamped the images from the sets 'ahoy, matey', 'booyah' and 'you are sublime' with Lawn Fawn jet black ink and colored them with Copic markers. Some images were a little bit customized although I always want that the original stamp image remains visible.

I diecut everything and assembled the card. Before adhering the scene to a craft card base I had distressted the edges of the background for more interest!
