Mama Elephant Stamp Highlight: New Beginnings

 Hi crafty friends! We are finishing up stamp highlights today with the new sentiment set New Beginnings. The sentiments can be used for different occasions, not just Lunar New Year so I made two cards to show how versatile this stamp set can be.

First up is a thank you card featuring the bear from the new Beary Good Day. I used Combo Rectangles to create the 3 frames and ink blended the scallops with Distress Oxides inks (crushed olive, shabby shutters, saltwater taffy, tattered rose, scattered straw, fossilized amber). I also used these colors to add some color to the rectangle background that goes on top of the scallops. 

I colored the images with Copic markers:

Bear-- E30, E31, T1, T3, T5, T6; R81, R83, R85, Y21, YG63, YG67; Sun-- Y00, Y11, Y13, Y15

Cloud-- BG10, BG11, R81, R83, R85; Balloons-- E00, E01, YR00, R81, R83, R85, R00

The background panel was cut from the Quilted Cover die.

My second card features the sentiments to create Lunar New Year cards. I colored up one of the dragons from Me and My Legend with traditional colors: R22, R24, R27, R29, R59, Y11, Y13, Y15, Y17, W1, W2, W3, R30.

I used the oval die from Knot of Luck to cut out a panel of patterned paper. I used the detailed inlay pieces in red cardstock to create the framing on the card base. 

For the inside of the card, I used red cardstock along with gold metallic cardstock to create the knot of luck. To finish off the card I stamped the inside sentiment with Versafine onyx black ink.

Thank you for stopping by and I hope you enjoyed all of the inspiration from the design team! Happy crafting! And to my USA crafty friends, Happy Thanksgiving!
