Welcome to the Mama Elephant Design Team blog hop!
Our newest release is now live and available for purchase in the store!
I created my own floral patterned paper using the new Brushed Florals Stamp Set and then added a big, bold stamped and embossed gold greeting from the Hello Friend Wishes Stamp Set. The vellum helps mute the floral background and makes the greeting take center stage.
I stamped florals from the Brushed Florals Stamp Set on smooth white cardstock using Hero Arts Ombre Lime to Forever Green, Simon Says Stamp Hydrangea Ink, and Simon Says Stamp Thistle Ink.
I trimmed a piece of vellum to cover the floral background and stamped a greeting from the Hello Friend Wishes Stamp Set using Versamark Ink and heat embossed with gold embossing powder.
I die cut a frame from white cardstock using the Mama Elephant Framed Tags Park Avenue Dies and stamped and embossed an additional greeting from the Hello Friend Wishes Stamp Set along the bottom edge.
I adhered the floral background to a side fold card base, the embossed vellum over the florals, finishing with the frame. I added some Pretty Pink Posh sequins to finish this soft and pretty hello card.
