Mama Elephant 2021 Anniversary Stampede, Day 1 (+GIVEAWAYS!)

15 Sep

 

Today we start on our Mama Elephant Design Team Anniversary blog STAMPEDE!! It’s been a very busy year with our spontaneous cross-country move!  Can you believe we are celebrating 9 years already?  And we are so happy to be celebrating with all of you and all of our amazing friends!  So please join us the next 3 days while we showcase our new Anniversary Release!  We just cannot express how blessed we feel to be able to do this for the past 9 years and we owe it all to YOU!

Let’s Stomp to it!


Good morning friends!  I am so honored and excited to be guesting for Mama Elephant’s Anniversary Stampede today!  I had the opportunity to play with the adorable Penguins Go Skating set and created a three dimensional scenescape card!

Penguins Go Skating by Jessica Frost-Ballas for Mama Elephant

To start I stamped all the penguins from Penguins Go Skating with versafine and heat-embossed them with clear embossing powder before coloring them with copic markers.  I used cool greys for the penguins, toner greys for their skates, and neutral greys for their puffy hats.  I used BV02, BV13, BV04, and BV08 for the purple accessories and RV13, RV14, RV25, and RV29 for the pink accessories.  Once I was done coloring I die-cut all the images with the coordinating dies.

Next I die-cut all the pieces of the Scenescape Builder and used a hilly border to create my ski hill.  I blended tumbled glass onto the edges of all the snowy pieces and then blended the sky with prize ribbon, shaded lilac, and kitsch flamingo.  I also die-cut birch trees to tuck amongst the snowy hills and stamped a sentiment from Scripty Xmas.  I adhered the card together with a mix of double-sided tape and liquid glue!  I love that it folds completely flat and can be stuck in a regular letter size envelope for mailing!

Check out the rest of the hop for amazing inspiration from our Design Team and Friends!

    Lol! I love that this set includes a little one who fell while ice skating. I remember falling on my butt more than once.
