Guest Designer Debby Van Diepen with Zodiac Monkey

Hi! I am Debby van Diepen and I am Guest Designing for Mama Elephant today! Here is a little bit of myself: 

I am happily living in The Netherlands with my family. My husband Sjoerd and three kids. We have lost our baby boy 5 years ago, and that was the time i really started with the art of cardmaking. I have always been very creative (i even was a graphic designer student once). But in that time, i needed a 'bubble' for myself to step out of the 'real' world. I could handle my grief better that way. Since then i am very much into cardmaking and i absolutely love it! I love to step in my bubble and give my creative brain a form. A few months ago i discoverd the world of cute critters from Mama Elephant more, Snow Angels, to be excact. Those cuties are still my biggest love ;) Since then i started making cards with critters and scènes more. I love working with them, never thought i would hahaha.

I am very honoured to have a spot here on this amazing blog among these amazingly talented designers!

Hugs, Debby

For this slimline project i used a few different ME stamp sets and the Slim Card Basics die set and Whimsy Alphas die set. The stamp sets i used are 'me and my yeti' 'little sloth agenda' and 'swinging borders'.


I started with the card panel. I die cut the scallop piece and the cloud edge piece. I inked the pieces with Distress Oxide inks bundled sage and shabby shutters. I also used a green pencil to color the edge of the bush (cloud) piece.


I stamped all my images and I colored them with Spectrum Noir Markers. Added some extra details with a red pencil and a white Sakura Gelly Roll pen. I arranged all the stamped images on the card. Some, i glued down and for others i used foam squares.


For the letters i used the Whimsy Alphas die set. Inked them with Distress Oxide ink shabby shutters and added on a few places some Nuvo Embellishment Mousse - mother of pearl. I inked the card base with Distress Oxide ink pumice stone. I placed the card panel on the card base with double sided foam tape. And that's it! Hope you like this project. I had a lot of fun making it!
