Something Else on Saturday #48 Featuring Elephant Friends from Hello Bluebird

Good morning all and welcome to another of my Something Else on Saturday posts! I finally managed to get my hands on some Hello Bluebird Stamps from Menny's Bastelshop in Germany as they are not (as yet!) available in the UK (Why not?!) I do wish somewhere would stock them as there's so many sets I want, but Menny's doesn't have them all in stock!

Anyway these adorable elephants are from Elephant Friends and I thought I would have a go at making my own frame for them to go as I don't have a die with these sort of frame (can't find one like this either, so need to keep an eye out for one!) I used my Square and Rectangle Nestabilities to cut it out and then trimmed round it to make it fit better on the actual card base, but it is a little off centre with the squares. Might have been easier to just cut the squares and rectangle out and mount them onto a piece of card!

The background was inked using Picked Raspberry and Worn Lipstick Distress Ink Oxides before spraying with water and flicking watered down white paint over it too.

PSST! Would actually help if I bothered to add the photo of my card too, wouldn't it?! Can't believe I forgot it!
