Welcome back to Mix it up Monday for Doodlebugs! Today I’m playing with the recently release Mama Elephant postcard dies, in a fall theme before fall gets away from us!
There are quite a few layers on the postcard die set so I didn’t use foam today at all, just liquid glue to adhere the layers together. My card front is dark brown, then I glued the striped pieces from the postcard to a piece of white cardstock so they popped more. Next, I glued the kraft layer to that.
With all of that decided, I cut the postcard panel and postage stamp from white cardstock and inked them up a bit. The edge of the stamp is lightly inked with brown ink. Then I masked off the edges to ink the center with light teal ink. Then I added speckled egg distress oxide ink to the center of the postcard panel, splattering more ink after for added texture.
Finally, I pulled out the Lawn Fawn You Autumn Know set to choose my images. I stamped and colored everything with copic markers, using the coordinating dies to cut it all out. I glued the images down with liquid glue and then placed the panel in my MISTI to stamp the first portion of the sentiment on the upper left area.
I finished this design off with glossy accents on all the mouse noses and white gel pen highlights on the mice and the leaves. This turned out so cute and the postcard die set is really fun to create with! It’s going to be great at valentine time!
I appreciate you sharing your time with me. Have a fabulous day!
