Welcome to the Mama Elephant Design Team blog hop!
Our newest release is now live and available for purchase in the store!
My project features the Garden Frame stamp & die set.
For the background I adhered several strips of solid colored cardstock onto a panel and then ran the panel through with one of the Basic Rectangle dies.
I colored the Garden Frame with Copics and used the Garden Frame coordinating creative cuts to die cut the window opening for the sentiment. I also used a white gel pen to add a few highlights to the flowers.
To celebrate the new release, Mama Elephant is picking 3 winners to win their choice of stamp set! Winners will be chosen at random from the collective blogs in the Stampede. You have up to 4 chances to qualify to win!

June 16, 2018 at 2:21 pmLauren, what a lovely rainbow background which I know you love but what I love about it is that I could use up beautiful scraps of coloured card stock to create this background too (me being frugal with my craft stash). The frame of flowers is beautiful and the simple sentiment in the centre just completes the design. Gorgeous Lauren as always. :O)
