Hey guys! I'm back today with the second day of the Mama Elephant May release highlights. For today the whole DT is showcasing the set Wanderlust! (It's available on the site NOW!) Obviously, this set is travel-themed, but I am excited about using them for some graduation cards! Let's get to my card:)
For the background I used my favorite cityscape stamp from the Central Park set. For a little detail, I stamped and embossed a silver stripe along side my train car with a stripe from Basic Borders. I put the sentiment on a vellum banner that is "flying" in the wind:) Just a tip for stamping on vellum. I use Versafine ink. It's a sticky pigment ink and it is awesome because it's grippy! No more sliding when you stamp on vellum! Like any ink on vellum, you need to give it a little extra time drying, but the Versafine results are tops! I'm so glad I found this product because you know I love my vellum;)
Thanks for stopping by and checking out the new stamps! I hope that you get a chance to drop by the rest of the DT to see what fun they had with this fun set!
