ellie...

 Hi , isn't this little elephant from WPlus 9 just soooo adorable.
I have had this stamp set for a while and have been hanging out to colour her up.
Ellie has been printed out of dictionary paper that was scanned into my computer. I then used the faded out option in word and printed the dictionary paper onto blending card.
I then stamped Ellie and the balloon and coloured with my  Copics.

STAMPlorations- Inspiration #9

 Hey there, time for some inspiration with stamps from STAMPlorations.... 

I used.....

The Bee's Knees Houses and Sentiment Builders- Love

I stamped the houses onto different patterned papers and fussy cut them out. The background was created using the LOVE stamp and stamping repeatedly.

I added a die cut scallop and heart, followed by the sentiment.

CASEplorations...24..7

 

Hi there, for  March we are CASEing the very talented.....

Loll THOMPSON from stampingwithloll

Ok now to be honest, I have trouble CASEing cards.. I procrastinated about this so much...

so in the end I chose just to use the colour combo that Loll had used of the Gold, Red and Green.

 

I used the ARTPlorations Stencil- SHUTTERS as my background sponging in Distress Ink.

Then I stamped the Bees Knee's Houses onto patterned paper and coloured the roof tops with my copics.

 

I also added a Tim Holts Die - Thinlets. I cut this first out onto the card, backed it with green card and then cut it out again with Gold card so I can put back in the numbers 24.7.

extras were  Lawn Fawn Die and "for you" sentiment from the THANKYOU sentiment Builders 

Pop on over to the STAMPlorations blog HERE to see how the what the other girls created...
