Cardz 4 Guyz #374 

Theme: Seashells

 

I found this cute seahorse paper in my K&company pad so used it for the sea feel of my card. I stamped the shell and used copics to color it. and I fussy cut it out.. thank goodness it was simple. I'm spoiled by dies.. I thought it needed some sand so I used a Rubber baby buggy bumper old stamp and created the sand look and just cut out a mound. I put the shell down and though it needed more so I looked at my greenery stamps and found these Stampin up dies so I found some scraps and added them and the shell looks better with them in the background. I stamped the sentiment.

Hello and hope your start to summer is going good

We have a new challenge over at 

Sparkles Christmas #173

Theme: Include Merry 

I still had some of this beautiful paper from Quick quote so used it for the background. I used some card stock and die cut the Simon Says sentiment out about 4 times and layered.. I have some gold sparkle ink and tapped it on the sentiment and set is aside to dry out. later I added the sentiment and tapped ever so lightly the ink again as it soaked in. I added some gold gems. In person this is really pretty. Computer doesn't do it justice..

Hello and it's almost June... Warmer weather and great time to vacation even if it's those short trips and doing something fun.

We have a new challenge over at

Alphabet challenge

Theme:  letter D - for Dog

I made this card for my daughter .. She has a couple Corgi's and thought this would be a fun card to send to her.  I stamped the My favorite image and heat embossed the sentiment. I colored the doggie with copics and using my cloud template added the clouds with Ranger ink. I used MFT stitch die and backed with black card stock.. I added twine to the Basic Gray designer paper and added a twine layered bow.. I added the image and sentiment. I punched about 5 hearts with Stampin up punch and layered them for the thickness. I added some glossy accents but it didn't look right so I scraped it off and added some fine glitter.  I tied to color him the color of my daughter's corgi.. think it came out cute.

Dr. Digi

I am using the image called Netflix and chill.. I colored with copics ad used a flower stamp for the background wall but kept it very light so it's just a hint of design. I thought they needed gray hair as that's the way hubby and my hair is.. lol old married couple and love the Tim Holtz sentiment.. I am sure we have both had that feeling..  I used My favorite things die and backed on black scrap. I dug through more scraps and found this soft background flower piece.
