Hi there! Today I’m joining Mama Elephant as we highlight the new Ella & Friends stamp set with coordinating dies.
I used the “smooshing” technique that Betsy Veldman taught in her latest Make It Monday video with Distress inks. Absolutely brilliant results using an acetate sheet. How adorable are these Mama Elephant images? I mean seriously, it doesn’t get any cuter than a bunny & elephant blowing bubbles. I colored them with Copics, popped them up with foam tape and that’s the end of that story.
Make sure and check out the Mama Elephant blog to see more projects using the Ella & Friends set.
Thanks so much for stopping by!
