Crafty Picnic with Friends | Slimline Scene Card with Mama Elephant

Hello Crafty Friends!

Today I want to share a new card with you. This time I created a crafty picnic scene with the cuties from Mama Elephant's "Picnic with Friends" and "Crafted with Love" stamp sets!

If you would like to see how I made this card just click on the video below or just keep reading!

First, I stamped all my images onto Neenah cardstock and colored them in using Copic markers. All the images were cut out using the Brother Scan'n'Cut. 

For the background I die cut a bristol panel using the stitched rectangle from the Slim Card Basics and ink blended it with Tumbled Glass and Broken China Distress Oxide Ink. Then, I also die cut the scalloped rectangle, the hill and the cloud border from the die set out of bristol smooth cardstock. I left the scalloped edge white and cut a card base that would leave the scalloped edge showing completely and adhered it using tape runner. I ink blendend the border panels with Twisted Citron, Mowed Lawn, Cracked Pistachio and Pine Needles Distress Oxide. I also added lots of Pine Needle splatters - turning the cloud border into shrubs to go behind my grassy hill.

I heat embossed the sentiment from the "Picnic with Friends" stamp set in white. I added the first shrubs to the background using liquid glue and adhered the hill on top using thin foam tape. 

Then, I added my images to the scene using liquid glue and foam squares. I added lots of shimmer pen and Nuvo Crystal Glaze to some of the images for added interest.

I really hope you enjoyed this one! I had lots of fun making it and I just wish I could have a crafty picnic like that!

Thank you for stopping by and have a great day!
