Hello, crafty friends! I'm very excited and happy to announce that I'll be guest designing for Mama Elephant for three months. This is definitely a crafty dream come true for me, because I am a huge fan of their fabulous products. Thank you, Kryssi and Angela for this amazing opportunity!
For the Stampede, I made a shaker card that features three of the new products you're going to love. I used the Lafayette Creative Cut, Wishing You, and Pretty Peonies stamp sets.
For the Stampede, I made a shaker card that features three of the new products you're going to love. I used the Lafayette Creative Cut, Wishing You, and Pretty Peonies stamp sets.

I began the card by adding shades of pink and yellow watercolor wash and splatters of watercolors using Kuretake Gansai Tambi on watercolor paper. Once it dried, I trimmed the paper and heat resistant acetate down to 5.5" X 4.25". After I applied anti-static powder to the acetate, I stamped the large sentiment from Wishing You set with Versamark Ink and heat embossed it using white embossing powder. Next, I die-cut white cardstock using the large frame from Lafayette Creative Cut to create my shaker window. I adhered the acetate behind the window and added two layers of dimensional foam around the frame. Then, I adhered that to the watercolored panel after adding some sequins from Pretty Pink Posh's Friendship Sequins Mix.
For the flowers, I stamped Pretty Peonies on Bristol paper using Versamark Ink and heat embossed it with white embossing powder. I colored it using Zig Clean Brush Markers and fussy cut them out. Then, I stamped the other part of the sentiment on Vellum paper using Versamark ink and heat embossed it with black embossing powder. To finish the card, I adhered the flowers and the sentiment to the front of the card and attached it to the folded note card.
