Hi Canaries! I recently bought the Mama Elephant "Three Amigos" Stamp Set and co-ordinating dies from the Scrappy Canary Store and I couldn't wait to ink them up.
Some special little people in our lives have been achieving some great things at school and I wanted to show them how proud of them I am. All three cards were very quick and easy to put together.
For this first one I masked off the white area of my background and blended some Distress Inks. I then stamped and coloured my critters with Copics before die-cutting them and popping them up on foam tape.
For my next card I stamped my critters directly onto my background, using some Post-It notes for masking the areas where they overlap. I coloured them with Copics and layered the panel on a dark orange card base.
The next card's background was created with a large oval die before the two resulting pieces were coloured with Distress Inks. I stamped and heat embossed the critters before watercolouring with Inktense Pencils. Then I die-cut them and adhered with foam tape. The "Congrats" sentiment was from WPlus9 (set now sold out) and I white heat embossed it.
I love that you can create lots of different cards with this set, not just Congratulatory ones, as there are heaps of tiny words you can add to the critters.
