Creating Memories

Hi there,

I created this travel-themed card for Mennys Bastelshop using the Mama Elephant Deliver Summer Vibes stamp set:

  • stamp the hamster from the Mama Elephant Deliver Summer Vibes set with Gina K. Designs Obsidian
  • color the image with Ohuhu Markers, add extra shading with Faber-Castell Polychromos pencils and highlights with a white gel pen
  • create a background on a piece of watercolor paper using watered-down Distress Inks (Pumice Stone, Antique Linen, Weathered Wood)
  • stamp the sentiment from the same set with Versafine Clair Portobello
  • add some texture to the background by stamping elements from the Waffle Flower Postage Collage set with Versafine Clair Sand Dune
  • adhere the panel to a cream cardbase

Have a wonderful day.

Hugs,

Hi there,

  • stamp one of the images from the adorable Mama Elephant Milkshake set with Distress Oxide Ink Lost Shadow onto the watercolor tag
  • color the image with watercolors and add highlights with a white gel pen
  • add little dots with Nuvo Crystal Drops
  • ink up the edges of the tags with Distress Ink Spun Sugar
  • add a string of twine to the holes of the tags and tie it into a bow
  • stamp the sentiment and a strawberry from the same set with Distress Oxide Ink Spun Sugar
  • color the strawberry with watercolors and add little dots with a white gel pen
  • emboss a piece of vellum with the Honey Bee Stamps Eyelet Lace embossing folder
  • adhere all the elements to a pink cardbase

I hope you got inspired.
