today, the whole DT is showcasing the new, super FUN, playful and sweet, Wild About Zoo Stamp set!! i just LOVE these little critters, and the super sweet, coordinating puns! ha ha!! they are perfect for scrapbooking your winter memories, doing a project life type spread, gift tags and, of course, cards (especially Vanetine's Day cards!)!! all of the new sets will be available for purchase on January 16th, right here!
ok, here's my first card :
i created the background with distress inks, and it just came out SO well! i LOOOOVE those pinks, yellows and oranges!!
i colored the elephant with copics and then popped him up over some crumpled up vellum! i also stamped the sentiment onto the other half of that crumpled vellum, and then embellished the card with lots of wood veneers and enamel dots!
i added stitching to adhere the vellum and to the vellum heart sticker too! LOVE this card!
my second card was also lots of fun to make, too! and it's another favorite!
a lemur!!! i LOOOOVE that little lemur! i colored him with copics and then popped him up over that night sky!
to create the night sky i used some watercoloring with some black/really really dark grey mists and recycled packaging! once that was dry, i used a star stencil and some embossing paste to add the stars to the 'night sky'.
I also added that heart washi and some stitching! LOVE it!
