Hello, friends and welcome back for another “It’s STAMPtember!” post! This time I am sharing a cheerful friendship card made using Mama Elephant Rain or Shine Exclusive collaboration stamp set.
I love the messages in this set and I picked two to use for my card – “No Rainy Day Blues When I’ve Got You” and “Thanks For Always Being There For Me”.

CARD DETAILS
I started working on this card by stamping and coloring my images. I used Simon’s Intense Black ink and Copic Markers. Truth be told I had no clue what colors to use to color the critter (is it a cat, lol?) so I went with neutrals and used just a hint of E33 and E31. I didn’t color the entire image, but rather outlined it creating some heavier shading on the right hand side.
After cutting my images out I started to think about a background. I didn’t want to mount them onto a plain white one, so to add some color I used Spellbinders’ hexagon die from the Be So Hex set to cut out 3 shapes out of colored cardstock – Doll Pink, Cotton Candy and Sea Glass.
I foam mounted my hexagons onto the card front, foam mounted my colored shapes on top and added sentiments. Lastly, I embellished my card using Morning Dew Nuvo Drops.
