Welcome back to the last day of Mama Elephant stamp highlights for this month! We're showing off the new sentiment set, Heartfelt Wishes.

I am beyond thrilled to have a gorgeous brush script "merci" stamp - I needed it like crazy, living in Montreal and making all of those teacher thank you cards!

merci beaucoup {mama elephant}


I stamped and die-cut the greeting, and found that it worked beautifully with my wreath (from Charmed.)

I popped the wreath onto a circle die-cut, stamped the smaller greeting inside, and adhered the bigger script sentiment to it. That alone would make for a beautiful tag!

For the card base, I used the new striped cover plate as a stencil to watercolor blue stripes onto a piece of watercolor paper.  I love that the stripes look freehanded, but they are perfectly spaced out. I will definitely be doing this again!

I hope you like it! There's more to see on the Mama Elephant blog today - click!
