kiss kiss, i love you {mama elephant stamp highlights}

Are you enjoying this week of Mama Elephant stamp highlights so far? The new stamp sets are amazing, and the design team is doing such a great job! I love seeing what the other girls have made.

Today, we're showing off the sentiment set, bountiful blessings, full of fancy,flourishy words.  I wanted to do something a little different. In Pandamonium, the sentiment reads "kiss kiss, i love u." I thought it would be fun to dress it up a bit with the new, super dressed up LOVE from bountiful blessings.

I started out by stamping the sunburst in a teal-blue ink and then I selectively inked up the sentiment from pandamonium on either side of the flourishy "love."

The pandas were then stamped and die cut and placed as close together as possible without looking like one was eating the other. The die-cut outline around the pandas did that to me at first. hee.

I also die-cut a few hearts (from the confetti cuts) and highlighted them with a white gel pen.



I hope you like it!

Hi there, and welcome back to another day of Mama Elephant June stamp highlights. Today, we're showing you the loveliest small floral set, bloomsies.

I used only 1 flower to create some background paper that would match my focal image. So fun! And, it can obviously be as simple or as elaborate of an undertaking as you want.  Tip: work on a scratch sheet of paper until you find a cluster of flowers that works and then build your pattern on a cardstock panel.

Here, I used copics in pink, mint and violet to color my patterned paper.  I didn't color directly on the card-base, but on a 4.25 x 5.5 inch panel that I adhered to a folded card.  I know there are some cardstocks that don't show any copic bleeding, but I don't own any.



For the main panel, I paired bloomsies with another new release, bountiful blessings.  Kryssi mentioned on her blog that these 2 sets were initially designed together, and they work so well that way!

The banner is my favorite element of the entire set. It's so soft and flowy. I will be using it a ton.

That's all for me! Thanks for stopping by and check out more bloomsies inspiration on the Mama Elephant blog today.
