Mama Elephant – Stampede Hop

Welcome back to Day 2 of our Stampede Celebration! Today we are celebrating with the wonderful and inspirational winners from our Guest Design Call! We were totally blown away with all their projects and we are so very happy they can share their creativity again with us today! Not everyone has a blog so remember to also check our Instagram also!

For my card today, I stamped and colored a variety of the sweet Little Girl Gnome Agenda images with my copic markers. I used the coordinating dies to cut them out. Then I stamped a couple of the new Easy Christmas Greetings and cut those out as well.

Next, I switched to die cutting the background from the Slim Woodland die. I cut it first from white cardstock and then I inked up a strip of white cardstock with Distress Oxide Ink in blueprint sketch, faded jeans and chipped sapphire. I spritzed it with a distress sprayer and cut the sky portion again.

Then I took the white background panel and colored it in with my copic markers, giving the snow a little glow and the trees some definition too. After creating a slimline card base from kraft cardstock I adhered the colored panel with liquid adhesive and then I paper pieces the night sky pieces in place.

To finish off my card, I added foam squares to the images and sentiments and popped them in place. I added some glossy accents details to all of the gnomes and also glued a scattering of red clay hearts around the design.
