Hi, inkers! Today I have the immense pleasure, to join my friend Kryssi and her talented DT, in showcasing the Mama Elephant May stamp release! Woo-hoo! So much goodness this month, be prepared for some serious enabling - I’m sure everyone’s projects will be outstanding
Welcome to the Mama Elephant May Design Team blog hop! Our May release is now live and available for purchase in the store: www.mamaelephant.com.
To celebrate the new release, Mama Elephant is giving away 3 gift certificates worth $20.00 each to 3 lucky people! Winners will be chosen at random from the collective blogs in the Stampede. Winners will be announced on the blog on May 19th.
Here’s how to qualify to win (leave a separate comment for each):
My project features my favourite sets from the lot, Filigree and Soiree. I took the sentiment only from the latter, and made the amazing, dainty doily from Filigree stand out on this nautical-inspired card.
To achieve the dimensional effect, I white embossed the doily on a piece of baby blue & navy cardstock each, and then trimmed both so that the images line up. Then I cut the navy cardstock into 1 cm wide strips and adhered over the base, making sure the images overlap. A fun flair button from America Crafts and a few silver sequins, finish the look.
Be sure to visit the rest of the design team’s blogs and leave your comments as you move along for more chances to win!

Oh, love your card! Congrats on getting your self-hosted site up and running!
Beautiful card! Love the 3D effect!
Love how you did the layers!!! I’ve had blogger issues as well, I’ve tried many web browsers too. But I’m sticking with Internet Explorer. It has a few conflicts with Google, but I can handle it! Hope you enjoy your new blog home!
Wow, I don’t think I have the patience to make that wonderful 3d effect! How pretty and the button in the center is perfect for a pop of color!
Such a lovely card. Those layers are so clever. Great release from ME too! Bev
