Amazing

Hello!

Are you as shocked as I that it is April? Whoa. I am certainly thankful for the spring weather coming through and to finally come out of hibernation! This cold was a serious downer for me this year, and after much planning and strategizing, I truly believe I won't have to go through that again. If you live in Texas, near Waco, give me a shout...I believe that is where my husband and I will be relocating later this summer.


So, I know you didn't come here to hear about my moving plans, although I would love to find crafty gals in that area, I have a card to share. The latest Virginia's View Challenge is all about Layers and Dimension. These little elephant stamps from Wplus9 just had to be inked up and colored, so I got super inky for this.


I started by taking a piece of watercolor paper, and adding Ranger Distress Inks and lots of water. I dried it in between layers, and smooshed it onto the color on my craft sheet. I then heat embossed my sentiment and adhered the panel to a card base. I die cut a fun frame by Paper Smooches, and popped it up using foam tape.


For the elephants, I went from top to bottom, and masked off their feet as I went down, stacking them on top of each other. I colored them with Copic Markers, added detail with a white gel pen, and then fussy cut them out, and adhered the stack to the side of the frame.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

  8. This has to be one of the cutest card ever! I don't even know what I like best: the background, the way you framed the sentiment, or the stacked elephants. I saw this over at Virginia's View and just had to stop by to leave you a comment :-)
