Beach Soiree

Hello Creative Friends.

Today's card is a nautical card that can be used for any occasion.  Some might even call it a masculine card...:)  I designed it with retired paper and scraps, so in other words, I was clearing off my desk! 

Without further ado, I present my card.

I made a video showing how I put the card together along with how I colored the Beach Soiree images.  The Color Burst Pencils I used are:  028, 035, 039, & 048.  You can find the video here:

You are Awesome!

Hello Creative Friends.

Today's post is about all those people who touch our lives everyday.  We often get so busy in our day to day lives that we forget how blessed we are.  We are surrounded by people who care for us.  For some it is our families, for others it is friends and other people we meet in our daily activities.

 

I created this card to drop in my husbands lunch box because I forget to tell him how incredibly awesome he is.  I know he will get a kick out of it because he sees me making cards all the times and comments about how come he never gets a hand made card, so surprise honey, You're Awesome!

Who could you surprise with a handmade card telling them just what they mean to you?  I challenge you to pick one person and create a card to send to them.  Let me know what their reaction is.

Thanks for stopping by,

Take 2 on a Seahorse

Hello Creative Friends.

Today I am sharing a second card using the seahorse image from "Beach Soirée" set.  This time I decide to play with blues and greys which are more traditional nautical colors.

Love this little guy!  He is just so cute.  I colored him using Pool Play, Blue Lagoon, Pretty Pansy, and Whip Cream Reinkers.  I included a few of his friends down in the corner!  I covered them all with Journey glaze and then the seahorse got a light dusting of Journey Sparkle Dust.

The large background paper is from the Media Prints Paper pack.  This paper pack is retiring at the end of June.  That's the bad news, the good news is that it is on sale, 40% off while supplies last!  The smaller patterned panel was created with the Graduated Dots background stamp.

 

I added Whip Cream Journey Thread, River Stone ribbon, and Special Celebration Journey Sequins to finish the card.

Thanks for stopping by!

A Happy Hello

Hello Creative Friends.

In today's  post, I am sharing one of the cards I created using the new Beach Sorriee stamp set.

Isn't this little guy so stinking cute?  I colored him using Fun Stampers Journey Reinkers and Fusion Blender solution.  

I stepped out of my comfort zone , it was just a baby step, but I did it, and used the Ball Chain stencil and Journey Modeling paste to get the dots on my background paper. Now that I have done it, I will definitely try it again!

Thanks for stopping by!
