LotV Musical Elephant

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

Wryn – Just a note

It is November already! Yikes! Time is flying super fast it feels like and I’m struggling to keep up! Anyway, new month means new Tiddly Inks challenge on the challenge blog! The theme this month is Divine Dimension!

Ok, so this was a bit of a struggle for me. I think I’ve simply been making too many CAS cards as of late, because it certainly felt like I wasn’t able to think of anything remotely useful! I did however end up making a shaker card in a darker green colour with a dusty pink to go with. I must say, I do really quite like this combination and I’m very pleased with how it all turned out in the end! The stamp I went with this time around is Wryn – Just a note.

The chipboards are by Make it Crafty, which I coloured up with Copics as well, papers are by Papirdesign and Maja Design. The frame die and the butterflies are La-La Land Crafts.

Here you can see the card laying down flat with the pearls in the shaker area more spread out and how various layers have some dimension to them.

Copics used: (skin) E000, E00, E02, E13, E15, (hair) E08, E18, E19, E97, (dress) G21, G40, G82, (note) V000, V91, V93, V95 + white pen
