Unforgettable Birthday Card

Hey friends, today I'm bringing you a sweet birthday card using one of my favorite older stamp sets, Mama Elephant Ella & Friends. I just love that big, beautiful elephant and her tiny mouse companion. I added in a gift from Cozy Christmas and colored everything with Copic markers, then trimmed them out with the matching dies. This video is also Part 2 from Monday's Plan a Card with Me Video, so check out that one if you want to see how the idea for this card came together.

For the background, I cut out a piece of Bristol Cardstock and did a simple watercolor wash using Tumbled Glass and Salvaged Patina Distress Oxide Inks. Once that was dry, I stamped a sentiment at the bottom. Then I cut out some patterned paper from the Simple Stories Celebrate! 6x8 pad with the Mama Elephant Flirty Scallop Frames and added a contrasting pattern behind.
