Welcome to the Mama Elephant Design Team blog hop!

Our newest release is now live and available for purchase in the store!

Mama Elephant-Marine Friends, Making Waves Cover

My project features the Marine Friends stamps set. For the background I used the Making Waves Cover-Creative Cut and for the sentiment I used the Hello Script-Creative Cut. I blended the background with Distress Oxide inks and flicked with water & Aquamarine Liquid Watercolor. I stamped the images with Versafine Onyx Black ink onto Bristol and colored with Zig Clean Color Markers. I also colored the Hello Script die with Carmine Red.

    Your card is so cute! I’m not usually drawn to cutesy sea animals, but I really like these dolphins. Cute, but not overly cute if that makes sense.
