Mama Elephant May Stampede



Welcome to the Mama Elephant Design Team blog hop!

Our newest release is now live and available for purchase in the store!




www.mamaelephant.com


Today, I'm showcasing three new products from the May Release: Oh Happy Day, She's So Lovely and Basic Rectangles Creative Cuts.


To begin, I ink blended the background panel using Crushed Olive, Spiced Marmalade, and Worn Lipstick Distress Inks. I added splatters of water with the Distress Sprayer.


To make the window frame, I used the two largest dies from the Basic Rectangles Creative Cuts and die-cut white cardstock.


 I trimmed acetate to the size of the frame and stamped the large sentiment flowers using the Oh Happy Day stamp set and heat embossed it in white. I adhered the acetate behind the window frame and added two layers of foam tape behind it. After adding varieties of sparkling clear sequins, I mounted the frame to the background.


I colored the stamped girl from She's So Lovely with Copic markers and cut it out with the coordinating die. I stamped the sentiment from the same set and heat embossed it in silver.

To finish, I adhered the adorable little girl and the trimmed sentiment to the front window as shown.


Watch the release round up video below!
