Distress Markers & Mama Elephant Carnival Cupcakes – Color Wednesday #58

Hello, all! Happy Wednesday! I just realized that this is the first official Color Wednesday since October! Isn’t that crazy! I was doing coloring videos during the holidays, but this is the first “back to normal” video. :)

I’ve been holding onto the Carnival Cupcakes and Carnival Toppers stamp sets from Mama Elephant since bought them last August. They’re so darn adorable I couldn’t resist them anymore! And since you all know that I’m on a birthday card kick, now seemed like the perfect time. :)

I stamped the cute images in Antique Linen Distress ink and then watercolored using Distress Markers. The greeting from the Carnival Toppers stamp set was too long for my liking, so I performed “stamp surgery” and cut the clear stamp apart so I could stamp the greeting on four lines.

Enjoy!
