Nellie the elephant

I have become a little obsessed with Rachelle Anne Millers stamps from Crafters Companion.

This is one of the stamps from her animal collection called 'Sorry I Forgot', even though it's intended to be used for those cards when we've forgotten a birthday but my Mum is elephant mad so I thought she would really like this.

I stamped the image onto white card and coloured it using Spectrum Noir markers in the following colours:

TB1, TB2, TB3, TB4, OR1, PP1
TN2, TN3, GB8, GB9, CT4
LG3, LG4, IB1, IG1, DR4

Then came the tricky part, I took four different sheets of paper and cut them into inch square pieces, then stuck them in a random patchwork pattern. I added faux stitching onto each piece using a blue fine liner.

Thing 2

 Well you can't have Thing 1 without Thing 2 so here she is.

As you probably know I posted a card for one of my twins the other day so here is the one for her sister who is very into pink.
The stamp is also a Rachelle Anne Miller from Crafters Companion called Butterfly Kisses.

I coloured the image using the following Spectrum Noir markers:

PP1, PP2, BP2, BP3, IB1, CT3
FS1, FS2, GB1, GB8, CR2

I used the Papermania 'Daughter' stamp again, colouring in with Spectrum Noir pens and embellished it using pink gems.

Finally I added some paper roses from Hobby House to give it that little something extra.

Thing 1

 This is a card for one of my twins who loves purple and rabbits so this is the ideal image for her.
The stamp is one of the new Rachelle Anne Miller collection from Crafters Companion.and is called squeeze.
I coloured the image using Spectrum Noir pens using the following colours:

HB2, HB3, LV1, LV2, FS1
GB1, GB8, CR1, TB6, TB7
BG3, BG4, CT3

The 'Daughter' stamp is from Papermania and is also coloured using Spectrum Noir pens which I have added some purple and lilac gems to.

Finally I added a couple of fabric and glitter flowers to the bottom of the card.

I have to say I almost threw this away in it's early stages but my little girl really liked it so I'm glad I didn't.
