Today I'm sharing a Valentine's Day card I was commissioned to make.
Super cute and simple...
I stamped the elephant and balloon and then watercoloured using my Zig markers. This was originally stamped on my card base but I made an accidental splodge on the edge of it so cut it down with a stitched rectangle die. The sentiment was computer generated as these are the exact words that were wanted, and I die cut this down with a smaller die from the same set.
About a year ago I picked up some cardstock which is embossed with vertical lines, so I used this for the card base and absolutely love it. I can't believe I've not used it until now! It's fairly smooth on the reverse side but I still added a paper insert inside the card for a better finish.
Materials used:
- Stamps: MFT - Adorable Elephants
- Ink: Versafine - Onyx Black; Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers
- Dies: Create a Smile - Cool Cuts Double Stitched Rectangles
- Embossed cardstock from stash (unknown brand)

ReplyDeleteAwwwww, this is so cute. I really like the stripey textured card as a background - it frames your main panel perfectly. Chantell Just Add Ink
ReplyDeleteThat elephant is the sweetest. The stitched details & striped base (what a find) give lots of subtle texture to your card & let Ellie shine. Thanks for playing along with us at Just Add Ink.
