Make my Monday #233 - Turtle beach

Monday August 26, 2024

Hello

We have a new challenge over at

Make my Monday #233

Theme: On the beach

I remember years ago when I was in Hawaii and walking the beach and seeing the turtles swimming in the sea. It was so awesome and calming. Beautiful animals. So this was what inspired me for this card. It's a Z fold card. The stamps and designer paper are from Stampin up. I made this at my friends house.  It sure brought back a lot of wonderful memories of being over there. I got to go a couple times. First tine in mid 70's and  for a few weeks. Then again mid 80's and was there a month. Beautiful place. 

Inside of the card. Sentiments are on the z fold so when you open it the other turtles are there with the sentiments

We have a new challenge over at

Alphabet challenge 

Theme: K - Kitten or cats

I stamped this darling cat from Rubber Stampede and used My favorite things dies. I used Quick quote scraps to create the card. I cut the Hello from scraps that is the other side of the dot paper and stacked it 6 times to make more sturdy. I stamped the sentiment and added some diamond drills. I went over the hello with Spectrum Noir sparkle brush.  I added a little color to the image with copics.

Hello

Welcome back. I hope I inspire you to create something for our challenge or for any fun card making times

We have a new challenge over at

Cardz 4 Guyz #354 

Theme: Sunrise or Sunset

I created this card using My favorite things stencil of the sun. I used Ranger ink. I also created the water with a Newtons nook stencil.. I am not too happy with the water but I thought if I messed with it I would ruin it more so left it be. I stamped the Stampscapes tree and ducks. The sentiment if from My favorite things. I tore a piece of scrap and colored with Ranger ink to make a ground area that the tree was coming out of.  I kinda visioned being on a hill looking down at the water and sun off in the distance..

I will take is word for it.. I'm fine in a big plane (course the news lately scares me with issues happening) but those small little planes I would be so scared.

Theme: Alcohol ink / or Thinking of you

I decided to do both.. I created this background using Alcohol inks on Yuppo paper. I then cut a rectangle out of the dark gray card stock and added the inked paper.
