Baby Elephants Cards with Marine and Marieke

Hello crafty friends, Marine here! I'm back today with another baby card, super sweet and precious, showcasing Baby Elephants.

I started off with the background. I cut a 5,5 x 4,25 inches bristol panel and picked three different oxide inks to create the base of my sky: peacock feathers at the bottom, blueprint sketch in the middle and wilted violet at the top. Next I wanted to add clouds to this background, but before creating them, I set the panel aside to dry and let the inks really soak into the paper.

So while the paper was drying, I stamped some cute elephants and stars from Baby Elephants, a butterfly nest from Spring Showers, and clouds from Balloon Rides. As always I used the coordinating dies to cut them all, and used my alcohol markers to color everything.

Next I worked on my background panel again, and created clouds using a cloud stencil along with white pigment ink. On the bottom left corner of the panel, I white heat embossed my sentiment "Welcome baby girl", and then I attached my images using foam squares, glue dots and liquid glue.

Once all the images were attached, I added some final details: highlights using my white gel pen, I also added a bow from Passionate Penguins on each elephant's head, and finally applied a coat of glossy accents on the star balloon to make it super shiny.

And that's it, we have a sweet card to celebrate the birth of a baby girl, and you can celebrate the birth of a baby boy as well because the word "boy" is also included in the Baby Elephants stamp set. I leave you with the process video (click on the image above), feel welcome to check it out for more details. Thanks for stopping by, and see you next week!

Hello Sunny Studio Friends, Marieke here to share a cute Baby Elephants card with you. 

For today's post I first cut a rectangle and ink blended some Twisted Citron, Mowed Lawn and Rustic Wilderness onto it. Splattered some water and Rustic Wilderness mixed with water and adhered it onto a white base card.

Stamped the images out of the Baby Elephants, Fabulous Flamingo, Tropical Scenes and Snail Mail stamp sets. Colored them up using my Copic markers. Die cut them using the matching dies or cut them using my scissors. Cut a strip of kraft cardstock and ink blended some Walnut Stain onto it.

Used Copic Colors:
Elephants - C5, C3, C1, C0, C00 / R20, R00, R000, R0000 / W5, W3, W1
Light green - YG67, YG63, YG03
Dark Green - G28, G09, G07
Flowers - R85, R81
Hearts - R59, R29, R24
Brown - E47, E44, E43

Heat set the sentiment out of the Snail Mail stamp on some kraft cardstock. Trimmed it down to a small banner and dry embossed it using the Woodgrain Embossing folder. Adhered some twine behind it and adhered it to the card. Glued all the other elements onto the card and finished the card by adding some glossy accent to the hearts.
