Kissing Technique Using Stampin' Up! Lucky Elephant

I have always had a love for elephants as they are just graceful majestic animals so when this stamp set came along I just had to get it.
Today's card is using several different techniques.
Kissing Technique - ink Up the stamp in one colour and then use another inked stamp to stamp on top of the other. Large solid stamps are best for this technique so this elephant is perfect.

Background -  tear or cut a mask to use for the landscape and sponge in Crushed Curry and pool party. Sponge the edges of the card with Sweet sugarplum ink.

The elephant was fussy cut and mounted on dimensionals for depth.

All products are available through my shop button above.

Fun techniques using Lucky Elephant

I always get really excited when I get a new stamp set and try and think outside the box and not just stamp the image. Making a stamp set go further by using various different techniques to achieve totally different looks is part of the fun.

Lucky Elephant 142936 wood mount £15 or 142939 clear mount £12  (use shop button above to order) is a fabulous image at a great price.

Kissing Technique - ink the stamp in pool party then using dapper denim and Timeless Textures stamp set with the floral image stamp over the pool party several times in different directions. Huff on the stamp and then stamp onto whisper white cardstock. The result is a two  toned image.

Black Magic Technique -  stamp the image with white craft ink on black cardstock and allow to dry. Colour the image with our watercolour pencils in a patchwork design. Draw round the outside lines and patchwork with a white gel pen or chalk marker and create a water shower from the elephants trunk.
