To celebrate...we'll be sponsoring a giveaway. Leave a welcome message for Toni in the comments at the end of the post. Next Sunday, we'll randomly select a winner from the comments and send them some goodies (#BugMail). Sorry, US mailing addresses only. We are not able to ship internationally at this time.
PLEASE NOTE: Winner announcement will be posted next week in our Tuesday with Toni post. Please check the May 21st post on Tuesday for the announcement.
Hello, Doodlebugs fans! I couldn't wait to get my little hands on the latest Mama Elephant goodies. I love mermaids and mini sentiments and apparently giant sentiments!
I started the card by blending Distress Oxide Salty Ocean on the card base using Picket Fence Studios Blender Brushes and spattering it with water and the Distress Oxide Ink.
While that dried I blended Distress Oxide Candied Apple and Carved Pumpkin on another piece of cardstock and again spattered it with water. Swoon on the blue/orange color combo!
Once dry, I die cut the Mama Elephant Big Scripty Hello. As you can see, the Hello is popped up on Scotch foam tape and positioned lightly on the card. Lightly? So I could slide other design elements beneath.
Now the really really really fun part! I stamped out the Mama Elephant Little Mermaiden Agenda cuties using Memento Tuxedo Black and colored them up with Copics.
NOTE: Notice how the name of the set is mermaiden. I wonder if a mermad set is in the works. Eeeee!
I adhered them using Gina K Connect Glue. The glue is really easy to apply and I would use it for absolutely everything if it dried matte. (hint, hint, Gina!)
I added a few green elements using Taylored Expressions Build a Scene Underwater dies. Ack, so cute!!!
Now be sure to come back later this week when I'll be sharing a card made using the leftovers from this one. Perhaps certain orange leftovers? :)
