Mama Elephant August Stampede Blog Hop + Giveaway

 

 

Welcome to the Mama Elephant Release Design Team blog hop!

Our newest release is now live and available for purchase in the store!

 

I created a clean and simple one layer birthday card showcasing the new Birthday Wishes Stamp Set and the Balloon Etcetera Stamp Set.

 

 

The background of the card was stamped with the round balloon from the Balloon Etcetera Stamp Set on smooth white cardstock using the Buttercup Pigment Ink, Apricot Pigment Ink, Tutti Frutti Pigment Ink, Lemongrass Pigment Ink, and Fresh Mint Pigment Ink.

 

The greetings were stamped with SSS Black Ink using the Birthday Wishes Stamp Set.

 

Balloon strings were hand drawn using a Sakura Stardust Glitter Pen and the corners of the card were rounded with a 1/2" corner rounder.
