I made this card for my nephew’s birthday coming in the next
week. The focal image is the elephant
from WPlus9’s Unforgettable set. I fell
in love with this little elephant after watching Sandy Allnock’s video titled Unforgettable Belated Birthday Card and WPlus9’s video titled StorybookWatercolor.
I stamped out my image on some Hammermill #100 cardstock
using Memento Tuxedo Black ink and then colored with the Copics listed
below. Then I cut out the image using
Lawn Fawns Stitched Journal die and to be honest I let it set for a couple of
days because I was not for sure where I wanted to go with the project.
Once I received my order from Joann’s yesterday I knew how
to finish it off. I used some of
distress stains that I received and did a watercolor background which I think
came out great. While that was drying I
used my Memento Pear Tart marker and made a line under my elephant to give him
someplace to sit and then I stamped one of the sentiments in set using
Versafine Onyx Black. I used some
glossy accents on my balloon and grabbed some doodlebug sequins and placed them
on my journal card.
Now that my watercolor panel was dry I die cut using the
Mama Elephant Peek a Frame die and then I placed it on my card base using some double
sided tape I picked up at Harbor Freight last week. This tape is not acid free or archival safe,
but it is so much thinner than the 3M tape and I wanted to give it a try.
I said it earlier but I really like the way this card came
together.
