This week we are welcoming the lovely Alison Bomber aka Words and Pictures into the Designer Spotlight. If you haven't visited her blog before then you are in for a real treat!

I made a card featuring super cute Katzelkrafts Van Gogh Elephant and Flamingo stamps.


I spritzed the background with Tumbled Glass Stain and then stamped some clouds in Spun Sugar Ink before over stamping and White Heat Embossing more clouds. She then used a Tim Holtz Leafy Stencil to add some greenery. I coloured the images with Distress Inks and fussy cut and shaped the Elephant and accessories. I stamped and masked the Flamingo while I was making the background. 

I love how the elephant used his trunk to paint the flamingo! didn't he do a great job!! ;-) He was going to paint a sunflower but changed his mind when the flamingo came walking along with her beautiful bright pink feathers ;-) 


and I made an envelope to match

House Mouse Soaping Up

Hi all :-) It's time for a new theme over on the  House Mouse and Friends Monday Challenge,

I used this super cute Stampendous House Mouse Soaping Up Cling Stamp. Here they are getting all clean after frolicking in a mud bath and getting all sparkly clean to go to a party!
