Hello there, today I have another card to share using a wonderful stamp set from Tracey Hey and Alpaca Pals. This time I am using the adorable Hey Cutie set.
I started off by stamping the elephant on to white cardstock with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink. I coloured her using Copic Markers (the colours I used are listed below the supplies section) and fussy cut her out with scissors. I stamped the sentiment on to black cardstock with Versamark Ink and applied white embossing powder and heat set. These were then cut in to strips.
When I made this card, I created a couple of extra backgrounds so I thought it would be good to use for this card. The background was made by embossing the SSS Stained Glass 1 Stencil and adding Dr. Ph. Martin's Radiant Watercolours on top. The background piece was then die cut using a SSS Stitched Rectangle Die and then adhered to a white 4.5" x 4.5" card base with foam sheet and DST. I added the elephant and sentiments on top with thin foam squares. To finish off, I added Aqua Shimmer Pen and Crystal Glaze to the heart on her top.

My favourite animal is a seahorse if I can call it an animal, if I can't then it's my favourite creature followed by cats, dogs, bears.

These Tracey Hey stamps are lovely and the background you've created sets the design off perfectly. I feel 'fairly sure' that I shall be investing in some alcohol inks soon!!!

ReplyDeleteHi Michelle. Fabulous card as always. Such a cute elephant and gorgeous stamps. Having just come back from holiday, my favourite animal I have to say at the moment is the turtle, but love the stingray (so elegant and beautiful) and the seahorse. I hadn't heard of this company (where have I been), but the stamps look amazing and are already on my wish list.
