Party Caybara

Hi there,

it's time for our Inspiration Week over at Mennys Bastelshop and this week our topic is "DIY Striped Background". I used the Lawn Fawn Capybaras! stamp set on my project:

• cut out a tag from smooth white cardstock using one of the Mama Elephant Fave Tags
• stamp one of the capybaras and the cake from the Lawn Fawn Capybaras! set with Gina G. Designs Obsidian
• color the image with Ohuhu Markers, add extra shading with Faber-Castell Polychromos pencils and highlights with a white gel pen
• add a striped background made from colored cardstock underneath
• stamp some confetti from the same set with Distress Oxide Ink (Scroched Timber, Antique Linen, Tumbled Glass)
• thread two strands of twine through the hole of the tag

I hope you got inspired.

Hugs,

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,
