Today the Mama Elephant Design Team is showcasing the brand new Three Amigos Stamp Set and coordinating Three Amigos Creative Cuts dies. I used all three amigos and customized the paper each is holding with different sentiments from the stamp set! I love how easy it is to create so many different types of cards just by switching out the greetings!
To create my card, I stamped the critters from the Three Amigos Stamp Set on smooth white cardstock and stamped greetings on each of the paper the critters are holding to create the sentiment. I colored the images in with Prismacolor colored pencils. I used Gamsol and a stump pencil to blend and smooth the pencil lines. I die cut the images with the coordinating Three Amigos Creative Cuts dies.
For the background, I applied Tumbled Glass Distress Ink to the card base using the Mini Ink Blending Tool. I die cut a landscape using one of the Borderlines Trio Creative Cuts dies and applied Mowed Lawn Distress ink to the border. I adhered the border along the bottom edge of the card with foam adhesive.
I die cut the skyline from SSS Slate Cardstock using the Cityscape Creative Cuts die and tucked it behind the landscape. I die cut the sunshine from smooth white cardstock using the Stitched Sky Creative Cuts die and applied Scattered Straw Distress Ink using the Mini Ink Blending Tool. I tucked the sunshine behind the cityscape and die cut thought bubbles and hearts using the Instalove Creative Cuts dies and Polaroid Fun Creative Cuts dies and adhered them to my card. I applied a layer of Glossy Accents to the hearts.
