Mama Elephant - Hello

After making so many masculine cards, I wanted to do something sweet and pretty. So, I pulled out my Mama Elephant Up And Away stamp, as well as the brand new Mama Elephant "Hello" die.

I started by die-cutting the hello sentiment twice: once in black, and once in teal. I knew I wanted to make it look like the bunny is really floating, so I also die-cut some clouds out of white cardstock and thick vellum. I prepared the background by cutting a 3.75x5 rectangle from patterned paper.

After stamping and coloring in the balloons tops and the bunny, I cut them out carefully. I stamped the balloons again on the panel and adhered the colored tops with foam squares. I positioned and adhered the bunny, then drew in the curly balloon ends with a pen.

I added in the clouds, offsetting them a little so they looked more layered. I used the same off-set technique to adhere the sentiment. I started with the black, then I glued in the teal on top, slightly to the upper right, so the black barely peeks through. This gave the sentiment a lot more dimension.

As a last touch, I added some sequins.
