chill out! {mama elephant stamp highlights}

It's the last of the stamp highlights today, and we're showing off the fun, new alpha set: Block Party Letters.

This alphabet set is so fun to use! You can color just the shadow, or the opposite, or go bananas and give it a polka dot veneer like I did here:

The penguins are so cute - I had to bunch them all up together. When you are masking multiple elements, I suggest stamping it all out on a scrap paper first, so you could determine the stamping order. I stamped the 2 middle dudes here, leaving space between them for a 3rd guy to be scrunched in.  Then, the ones on the fringes, with their accessories.

They kill me. I love how easily they make a card come together - I mean, just a swipe of blue to highlight their white bodies, some blushy cheeks and orange beak and skates... er, yup. skates.

I colored the letters with pink and blue markers, and then dotted on some polka dots with a white gel pen. It all works perfectly with the pink and blue colors: on the letters, on the penguins. I'm a matchy-matchy kind of girl.

I mounted everything onto a giant tag, which I framed out by coloring a soft grey around the edges. And glossy accents for the balloon. That was a must, no?

I hope you like it! Check out the ME blog for even more inspiration!
