Welcome to the Mama Elephant April Design Team blog hop! Our April release is now live and available for purchase in the store: www.mamaelephant.com. Today I am using stamps from one of the new sets, BLING. I just love the fun marquee type letters incorporated into these sentiments. And what could be more fun than a rainbow? To make this CAS card with a multicolor sentiment, I took out my memento markers:

Awesome card, Cheiron! I love how you coloured the sentiment!

Wow, this is way cool. I didn't know there were ANY markers that work on photopolymer stamps. I was under the impression that markers simply did NOT work with them; I might need to look at the markers you used because I lovelove coloring letters the way you did here. The star punch is so cool, I'm pinning this to try to recreate later!

WOWOWOWOW! I love that you used markers for that multicolored sentiment! I thought you masked each letter (like I would-- since I don't own any markers!)! LOL! LOOOOOOOOVE!

I love that you used BRIGHT colors in your card, so many folks are using muted tones these days. Who doesn't love seeing the entire rainbow on a card?
