Birthday Card with Mama Elephant - Rain or Shine

Hello and welcome to my Blog!

For this card, I colored a piece of MFT vellum using Turquoise Sea dye ink by Gina K.  Then I broke out the "Rain or Shine" Simon Says Stamp Stamptember special stamp set by Mama Elephant.  I colored everything with Copics and stamped some rain drops with Gina K Blue Raspberry ink.

Here are the Copic colors I used:

Kitty colored with E30, E33, E35, RV11
Chick colored with Y02, Y15, YR04
Flower colored with Y04, Y15, RV11, RV04
Grass colored with YG03, YG17, YG67
Sun Y02, Y04, Y15

I am entering this in the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge: Whatever the Weather.

Just Because Card with The Greeting Farm

I saw this shirt at the Maui Ocean Center and just had to buy for a girlfriend who is a big fan of Pink Floyd.

I decided that I should also make a card to send to her along with the shirt.  I was inspired by a card that Kristina Werner made using small images and the Circular Grid die by Mama Elephant.  I had recently purchased the "Mermaid Kisses" stamp set from The Greeting Farm and they were begging to be colored.

I stamped each image then colored them with Copics.  I also added some shimmer with Wink of Stella and gel pen details.  I heat embossed the sentiment in white on black card stock and popped it up with foam tape and darn if I didn't put it on crooked.

Here is a shot of all of the colors I used:

Pivot Pop-Up Birthday Card with MFT - 2018

My first Pivot Pop-Up Card!

I had to use these cutie "Bitty Bears" from MFT!  And the Pivot Pop-Up is a die set from Lawn Fawn.

I paired the bears with some images from an older Hero Arts My Monthly Hero kit, all colored with Copics.  The inside also has a sentiment from "Birthday Wishes" by Mama Elephant and the "Sprinkles Turnabout" by Concord & 9th.

I should have used heavier cardstock since you can the inside clearly from the outside. Oh well, she still loved it!  And the right side is blank so that I could add in a gift card.

Box Birthday Card with Mama Elephant - 2018

My first Box Card!

I used the Scalloped Box Card Pop-Up die set from Lawn Fawn along with images from Mama Elephant's "Dragon Wishes" (that I colored with Copics) and fireworks from the July 2018 Hero Arts My Monthly Hero kit.  The sentiment on the back panel is "Make A Wish" by Mama Elephant.

I love these dragons!

Mother's Day with Mama Elephant

Here is a simple Mother's Day card using the Mama Elephant "Wild Meadow" stamp set. I stamped the flowers on Neenah Desert Storm cardstock with Versafine.  Then colored them with Faber Castell Polychromos colored pencils.  The sentiment I stamped with Versafine using Concord & 9th's "Perfectly Penned".

Once all the stamping was done, I die cut each piece.  Then glued a sheet of acetate to the top flower portion to create a window.
