Hi y'all!
This blog has been a wasteland, I know, but I have been crafting and coloring while packing these last few weeks!
Mama Elephant's sneak peeks are starting today, and my joining in can only mean one thing: another stamp design with my name on it!
This one is actually a full-on collaboration. It's the very first set of images that I drew for Mama Elephant. (fun fact: the little girl wearing the bear coat in Alpine Carolers was originally drawn for this set!) Angela tweaked the images and help me bring the set to life. I really love how it all turned out, with the different animals offering presents and support to one another!
Because I wanted my main panel to be flat, I masked the chipmunk so he could rest comfortably on the bigger mushroom, and be at eye-level with the raccoon. I included different items, like the bigger mushrooms and the log, so that the smaller animals could be raised up to face the taller ones.
I actually drew in the balloon string (instead of stamping it) since part of it had to pass in front of the raccoon's far paw (hand? paw?)
For the card base, I used the highlighter end of red (R29) and grey (T1) copic markers to draw in the stripes.
Now for the fun part: the Mama Elephant girls have given me an extra set to giveaway! Leave me a comment here, and I'll pick and announce the winner on release day (May 15th)
Good luck!
♥.

These two had differences that needed patching - hee.
