Good morning everyone and Happy New Year. I hope you have had a nice restful Christmas and a good start to 2020.
Our first challenge for this year over at Crafty Cardmakers is a really easy one, Anything Goes
I started with the elephants, which are a trio of stamps from Shirly Cohen, under the brand Studiolight.
I had previously used the distressed ink backgrounds that I stamped the elephants on for something else, but kept the offcuts and they were perfect for the size of these little fellas. I made an effort to pick different coloured areas of the offcuts so each of the elephants would be different. I also then restamped them again around their ear level so that I could use the Polkadoodles backing paper I was using on the rest of the design to co-ordinate, for their ears.
I added the elephants with foam tape to give them a bit of dimension.
I printed the sentiment on my pc and cut it out with a Little Darlings’ Tag Die, and the larger sized die for the matching matting layers. Just a layer of black card behind the two mats and in between the layers of tag die finished it off.
I am entering this into:-

I love it Lin and another fabulous Studiolight stamp set. Hope your new year is off to a better start than mine. I've been off work for the las couple of weeks with a bad foot. I am being a good girl and resting it, which means I am finally catching up on a few crafty tasks so there is some good to come out of sitting on my butt even if my waistline doesn't agree lol.
ReplyDeleteBig hugs my crafty friend.
