LotV Musical Elephant

Posted on 19 May, 20197 May, 2019 by Liz

I had a fun request for a card. It was to go to a lady who plays the blues and loves elephants and travelling. I knew exactly what stamp I wanted to use! One of the first stamps I purchased is an elephant blowing bubbles by Lili of the Valley. I don’t think it exists in rubber anymore, but it is available in digi here! I inked up the stamp, apart from the upper bubbles, and drew in musical notes instead and voila I felt I had two of the themes covered.

To add a few more bits of the requested themes I used background paper with subtle musical notes as well as an air plane and a musical note charm.

Copics used: (elephant) N0, N1, N3, E25, R20, R22, (flowers) R27, G94 (notes) B91, B95, (ground) E0000, E21

For our La-La Land Crafts project this week we were to use background stamps and stencils. I’ve used two different background stamps and one of the stencils along with two of the clear stamp sets for my project. You can find a list of all the products at the bottom of this post. I’ve used various distress inks for the background stamps, and the circles were embossed. I finally found my embossing mat. I wonder how many years it is since I last used it.. could be as many as 4 or 5 and then I think I only used it a couple of times. I’ll try to do better at embossing like that from now on!

Here is another photo, a bit closer, so you can see the embossed circles better.

Yesterday was Lili of the Valley‘s 15th birthday and that was celebrated with a brand new release! There are some fabulous stamps in this release, as it always is, and I thought I would show you one of the cards I’ve made with one of the new stamps. I coloured it up in no-lines this time and kept it simple.

Flowers for you

It’s the middle of the month again already and that means it’s time for a new challenge over at Copic Marker Norge. This time the has been challenged to make something with the theme nature. I chose to colour up a floral stamp by My Favorite Things.

The border die is also by My Favorite Things, the butterfly by La-La Land Crafts and the dots are gumdrops from Your Next Stamp.

A little while ago I was asked if I wanted to be a guest designer for Your Next Stamp. I wasn’t entirely sure if I had time and energy, but I decided there was no way I could pass up the opportunity, and they did give me plenty of time! So here I am, guest designing! You can find this and a couple more of my cards on their blog this month.

The first card I’ve made for them I’ve made as a layered card. I’ve used this adorable bunny along with a great sentiment set and gumdrops. I love the gumdrops! They are perfect for my cards and I wish I had loads more of them right now!

Copics used: N0, N1, N3, RV53, RV55, RV66, G21, YG13, YG17, YG67
