Hi friends! It's Amanda from Twiddler's Nook. Today's card came about in a funny way. I had a scrap of copic paper left over months ago. Randomly I stamped 2 Mama Elephant critters on it because they fit perfectly. That piece of paper has moved all around my craft desk and the clipboard I use to color on since then. Randomly, I came across them again while looking for fresh copic paper to stamp on and today's idea just hit me! So I switched gears and went to work...
After coloring and die cutting the first two critters, I realized that I needed a third. So I remedied that and set them aside to work on my fun background idea...faux notebook paper with the Lawn Fawn Simple Stripes Portrait die! I cut the backdrop from white cardstock and glued it to a card base. Then I used a ruler to keep my lines straight and BG11 and R20 copic markers to add the notebook lines.
Next, I added foam squares to the back of my critters and set them in place while I stamped some of the fun designs from the Mama Elephant Write With Me stamp set. I used colored ink for some a black ink for the text. After those were stamped I felt good about the critter placement and actually removed the release paper from the foam squares and stuck them down.
Next I pulled sentiments from the Mama Elephant Way To Go stamp set and added them around the critters. For finishing touches I added glossy accents to critter noses, glasses and parts of the pens.
It's end of school year/graduation time so I thought this card would be perfect to share now! It could go to a kiddo or a teacher celebrating the end of the year.
I appreciate you sharing your time with me. Have a fabulous day!
