{Mama Elephant} Designer Series: Watercolour Resist with Sentimental Borders + Video!

I'm on the Mama Elephant Blog today showcasing the Sentimental Borders stamp set. I stamped it with Versamark ink on an angle on watercolour cardstock die cut from Index Card Creative Cuts. After heat embossing it with a faded edge, I watercoloured over it with Gansai watercolour paints.



On the scalloped card base, which was die cut from Femme Frames Creative Cuts, I used the heart and triangle borders from Embellished Tag Creative Cuts to create my own stencil for embossing paste backgrounds. Femme Frames and Embellished Tag are also sold together in the Basic Set, along with Dainty Bow and Bold Banner.

I knew that the twin recipients of these cards were celebrating their third birthday with cupcakes so I added the yummy cupcakes and adorable animals from Carnival Cupcakes (+ Creative Cuts).

I embellished the embossing paste corners with gorgeous sequins from Pretty Pink Posh and Teresa Collins' Something Wonderful and Urban Market collections.

As I mentioned in my video, a large blue sequin fell off the boy's card before I photographed it. Then I didn't realize it 'til I gave the card away so I couldn't re-photograph it. Sigh. :)

Thanks so much for stopping by!
