Mammoth Day for No Patterned Paper for Let's Craft and Create Challenge #219 on the 5th of May, 2025

 

For this month's challenge at Let's Craft and Create Challenge Blog, we have the optional theme of

No Patterned Paper

This was a difficult one for me as I have so much patterned paper and I want to try and use it! But I had a look online and then at some of my classes and found a card that had embossing and some inking. So, here is my card:

Here is a photo of the inside of the card:

I made a card from the La-La Land Crafts Colour & Create Virtual Retreat in early February and we used stamps, dies and paper from La-La Land CraftsFor this card, everything was prepared for us and we just had to colour the images, fussy cut them and then organise the card! :) This is Irina's design and all the products used on this card are already released in the La-La Land Crafts Shop, so the products are:
The mammoth and a couple of the cavemen were stamped and we coloured with the following Copics and Prismacolour pencils: 
  • Copics - E000, E00, E11, E13, E15, E71, E74, E77, R20, YR21, C1, C3, C5, YG21, YG23, YG25
  • Prismacolour pencils - PC928 Blush Pink, PC935 Black, PC941 Light Umber, PC948 Sepia, PC1025 Periwinkle, PC1033 Mineral Orange, PC1034 Goldenrod, PC1054 50% Warm Grey
I also used white gel pen and Glossy Accents on the images. I inked Mowed Lawn, Fossilised Amber, Picked Raspberry and Wilted Violet Distress Oxide inks on the cave insert for the background on the front before spritzing with water. Then I inked Mowed Lawn for the palm tree fronds.

I forgot to take a photo of all the images before fussy cutting, but here is a close-up of the mammoth during the colouring process:

I followed Irina's instructions from the class.
The sentiment was stamped using Onyx Black Versafine ink. Everything on the inside of the card was adhered with Art Glitter glue. The front is a mix of foam tape and Art Glitter glue. I also adhered a bunch of sequins that Irina included in the Virtual Class kit.

Here is a photo from the side, so that you can see it popped up:

Here is another photo of the finished card:
