Deck of Cards - Set 2

Hi there,

over the next few weeks I would like to show you a project that I created for Mennys Bastelshop together with my so very talented daughter Emily. It was a gift for my son - a deck of cards. I used the Mama Elephant Artist Trading Card die set on each of them combined with different stamp sets from Mama Elephant and Lawn Fawn. Every week I will show you four cards. Let's continue.


  • cut out the Mama Elephant Artist Trading Cards from smooth white cardstock
  • add color with Distress Oxide Inks
  • stamp images from the Mama Elephant Magical Wizards, the My Favorite Things Magical Dragons, the My Favorite Things Magical Friends and the Mama Elephant Dragon Wishes sets
  • color the images with Ohuhu Markers, add extra shading with Faber-Castell Polychromos pencils and highlights with a white gel pen
  • assemble the cards

Have a wonderful day.

Hugs,
