Are you ready friends?? So, 3, 2, 1… Happy 8th Anniversary Mama Elephant!!
I’m very happy to join this amazing Blog Hop to celebrate this fantastic event!
There are so many talented designers who are waiting for you with lots of inspirations, so look down below this post to find out who today’s designers are!
Today I’ll share with you the project I created featuring the super sweet “Santa Baby” set, that you can find in the amazing Anniversary Release. I chose to use this funny Santa who’s coming out from behind the mailbox: he is so cute, isn’t he?
You know, I really love coloring and creating 3D effect in my cards, so I started with a shadow sketch for my project.
Then I stamped Santa using the Distress Oxide Tattered Rose on a gray bristol paper and I coloured it with pastel pencils and Prismacolor Pencils. I added the shadows with a black pastel pencil that I blended using a blending stump. At last I created the snowflakes with a white gel pen and I embossed the sentiment on a red paper.
I hope you’ll like my project and that it will inspire you!
