I have had this Mama Elephant stamp (plus the cat version and the snowman version) for a long time. I love them, but rarely use them and I just had a desire to use it. So I stamped it, masked it and then stamped it again to create a taller grouping of the pups!
I then used all my neutral promarkers to colour in the individual dogs. They are so so cute and I just love colouring them in.
Once coloured (including the pops of colour from either their accessories or the envelopes) I masked them again to blend the sky area with a mix of different bright blues.
Then I stamped the sentiment on the top and decided to leave it at that.
I did add a little gelly roll glitter pen to the bow ties and the hearts and the top party hat, but none of my usual over the top shimmer, shine or gems!
I mounted it onto a black card blank and added a white insert inside to make it easy to write to the recipient.
Love this image and how easy it is to transform into a portrait image even though it is normally a landscape one!
Watch this space the cat one may have to make an appearance too soon! (And maybe the snowmen one too!)
Happy crafting!
