Happy Mix it up Monday everyone! Today I'm switching gears away from holiday crafting to play with the most recent Mama Elephant release. This new Build a Bouquet set is adorable, pretty and everything in between! I had so much fun creating this card today.
I stamped my images from Mama Elephant Build a Bouquet first and colored them with copic markers. After cutting them out with the coordinating dies, I built my bouquet, realizing I needed a few more stems to fill things the way I wanted. So I stamped, colored and cut. This time it was perfect. After arranging everything in the slit of the paper image, I used washi tape to hold it all in place, then added dots of liquid glue to ensure it all stayed.
Next, I cut the second-to-largest Pretty Pink Posh Eyelet Circle from white cardstock and a slightly smaller circle from teal. Using this with my images as a guide, I figured out that "paper hugs" from the new Mama Elephant Paper Hugs die set fit perfectly off to the side. Using liquid glue, I adhered those layers all together and set them aside to work on my card front.
Keeping things bright and simple I used sunflower ink with a blending brush and the Pretty Pink Posh Starburst stencil. After adding ink through the stencil, I removed it and added another light layer of yellow working my way from the center out. Next, I added my decorated circle with foam tape to the center of the burst.
For finishing touches I kept things simple with a little black glaze pen on the kitty's eyes and glossy accents on the kitty nose and flower centers.
I appreciate you sharing your time with me. Have a fabulous day!
