3D Rustic Spring

 Following on from the Mama Elephant challenge that Tara mentioned, I too have prepped a card that would suit the challenge. Despite the inspiration photo being really pink, fluffy and sparkly, I've pared it back to the basic elements- the pink, a touch of sparkle and the pearls/gems

I love that you can be inspired by one photo and have a totally different response to it. I wanted to add a really 3D element to my project- and on the main pic you can't really tell the dimension, so here's a close-up. The substantial stacked 3D foam pads were showing a little, so that's why I added a small piece of pink glitter to hide the 'struts'.

We're so very close to opening..hold on for a tiny bit longer! Can you smell the polymer from here?!!

Grids for Birds!

Good morning! Hope you're all ok and enjoying all the gorgeous autumnal colours. Today's card isn't autumn inspired but was as a result of a technique we were doing last week at a stamping club I attend. It's called the grid technique except I didn't do a full square grid as my piece was already too 'busy'. Ideally you'd add vertical lines between the images and add colour and little images in some squared sections. Instead I just highlighted the lines & added some colour from alcohol markers. You can get more Mama Elephant stamps in our shop here
I've used this set called Rustic Spring

I know it's a bit too fussy- if there's not enough 'white space' I get a bit jittery! I think I'll go and have a cup of tea to calm myself down ;-) 

See you next Tuesday.

Happy stamping,
