We are here for you!

Hello, I am back today with a one-layer encouragement card using the tiny heroes stamp set from Mama Elephant.
For a one-layer card masking is needed to get nice result. Therefore, I started with stamping three of the tiny heroes on a piece of watercolor paper because these images should be in the foreground. Then I created masks for the heroes using regular paper and non-permanent adhesive and masked off the ground too. I cut out triangles from a piece of paper to create a mask for the background and colored the triangles with distress inks using a mini ink blending tool. After that I masked off the area above the ground and again colored it with a distress ink.


Next I was able to color my images with Zig clean color real brush markers and stamped my sentiment using Harold's ABC from Lawn Fawn. To finish my card up I decorated the card with stamped stars, added a little bit of shading with a Zig clean color real brush marker and coated the triangles with a Wink of Stella clear glitter brush pen to give them a nice shine. Last but not least I adhered the watercolor paper with foam tape to a turquoise card.


Thank you for stopping by and I will see you soon.

Thank You


Hi everybody, I am finally able to present you my first blog entry and I am very excited about it. I can't wait joining the card making community ♥

The first card I want to show you is the card that I created for the Mama Elephant august challenge.
I started out by applying distress inks to distress watercolor cardstock using the smooshing technique. I also splattered color on to the empty spaces to give it a little more interest. While the ink was drying I colored the little racoon from the Three Amigos stampset from Mama Elephant with copic markers and used the small 'thank you' included in the stamp set on the image. I also colored the little pencil and the ball of paper and cut out the elements. After adhering them to the paper I added some wood veneer stars from Studio Calico and adhered the watercolor to a green card.



Thank you for stopping by and see you soon!
