Welcome To The World

Hey, Terri here! Today I am sharing a new baby card using the Elephant Parade Stamp Set from Lawn Fawn.

I started by stamping all of my chosen images from the Elephant Parade Stamp Set onto 80lb super smooth cardstock using an alcohol friendly ink pad. I then coloured the images using my alcohol markers and added white gel pen higlight before cutting using the Elephant Parade Die Set.

Next I set about creating the background using the Cloud Background Stencils, this is a two layer stencil but they can be used individually if you want a more sparse sky. I choose to use both and ink blended with Salvaged Patina and Tumbled Glass Distress Oxide Inks.

I then added some sparkly splatters using a little Liquid Stardust mixed with water, I then use a fan brush to gently splatter over the background and set aside to dry.

Next I created the bubbles for the elephants to walk on using the Bubble Border Die. I cut 3 lots of bubbles from peralescent vellum and added them to some peppermint card using the border edge to create the top edge for the die cuts to sit against.

I then used the largest of the Outside In Stitched Rectangle Dies to cut the bubble section and also the cloud background. I chose to stamp a sentiment from the Elephant Parade Stamp Set and die cut it using the Everyday Sentiment Banners.

I also cut the word GIRL using Oliver's Stitched ABC's Die Set, unfortunatly at the time of posting they are out of stock, but this is a really good oppertunity to tell you about the "Notify Me" function on the website! If an item you want is out of stock, click the notify me button and add your email address, also add the item to your wishlist. This let's Tara and Rick know that you want the itme and when it's back in stock you will get an email to alert you!

Now it was time to put the card together, I stared by adding the  cloud background to an A2 cardbase using foam tape, I then added the bubble area with foam pads. I placed the elephants walking accross the bubbles and added the banner and little hearts.

I then glued the die cut letters in place and added some glitter glue to them for added sparkle. I then added the little mice, peanuts and baby bottle and also the stamped banner sentiment.

I am so happy with how this card turned out, it's adorable. Now I just need someone I know to have a baby girl...
