Merry Wishes…
Hey everyone.. How was your weekend? It’s time to start making a few Christmas Cards in my house and the new release from Mama Elephant was perfect to get started with.
I started out with the Hillside Cover die from Mama Elphant and I die cut a piece of Watercolor paper. Then I added some color to the hills with a No. 36 Light Blue Zig Clean Color Real Brush Marker and a damp paintbrush. Then I stamped the images from the new City Sidewalks set from Mama Elephant using some VersaFine Black Onyx ink on Watercolor paper and Colored them in with several Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers. No. 50,51, 34,83, 61, 45, 31, 70, 49, 52, 94, 62, 46, 220, 27, 44, 66 & 47. I used a damp paintbrush to move the color around for a watercolor look. Once they were dry I die cut them using the coordinating dies.
Using the Mini Misti I stamped the Sentiments in some additional VersaFine Black ink. Then I adhered the hillside panel to a top folding card base. I adhered my die cut images into the hills with some foam tape and liquid glue. I wanted to add some snow to the roofs of the buildings so I added some Copic Opaque White with a small paintbrush. Once the Opaque White was dry I used a Spectrum Noir Sparkle pen to add some Shimmer to the snow.
This is such a cute set.. And I there are a few more other great sentiments included. Be sure to head over to the store and check out the Adorable Mama Elephant Holiday Release!!!
Have a Great Day!!
