Sun brings family fun - Inspiration Destination #93

Wednesday July 6, 2016

 

Welcome to another challenge at Inspiration Destination #93 - it's ALWAYS ANYTHING GOES

 

 

Our sponsor for this card is Dr. Digi's

OK tell me this guy isn't a hoot.. I love him. He's called Ambrose king of the waves.. I had so much fun coloring him. Dr. Digi's images are just too cute and so much fun brining to life.. I really wanted to color him up in bright colors since the sun background was the only color.. He's pretty bright.. He's all ready for the fun that the sun brings. I added some spots to the animal float using my colorless copics. I didn't want white from the gel pen so this worked how I wanted it to look. I added some sea birds in the sun sky.. I can't wait to give this card away. I know it will bring some laughs.. I hope you play long at Inspiration Destination.. It's always anything goes.. which works great for those summer cards you can make now and then.

Warm thoughts - Inspiration Destination #93

Wednesday July 6th 2016

 

Welcome to a new challenge at Inspiration Destination #93 where the theme is ALWAYS ANYTHING GOES

 

 

Our sponsor for this card is A day for daisies..

I love working with the images from A day for daisies. They are awesome and so feminine.  I had fun coloring this image up.. She is called Vintage fairy child.. I always have issues with this type of hair style.. I don't know why I make it hard than it probably is but because I wasn't getting the look I wanted I just colored her hair dark. I guess I need to get on their blog and look and practice how the design team colors the hair.  Anyhow I like how the card came out.  I hope you find time to play along at Inspiration Destination.. It's always anything goes.. With this busy summer anything goes is a must..

Miss you - Creative with Stamps # 4 - Ink Splatters

Friday July 1, 2016

Welcome to our 4th challenge at Creative with Stamps 

So are you having fun playing along??

I love that each month we have a new challenge and there are so many creative players. I cant wait to see the creative ideas you come up with for this month long challenge.

 

(remember you can only enter 3 different cards per month)

The challenge is Ink Splatters

This is my card.. third attempt.. LOL ..  for this card I used watercolor paper and used purple, blue and pink ranger inks smeared out on my craft sheet, spritzed with water then laid my watercolor paper in it. I dried it and then kept adding it to the ink puddles till I got the effect I wanted.  I then took some SU white ink and added just a little water and splattered it over the piece. I dried it with heat gun and also let some of the heaver ink splatters dry on their own. Later I came in with black in and SU silhouette flowers and also Gina K botanicals stamps and sentiment. I then mounted it onto a piece of blue SU paper and then onto the white recollection base.  This card is stunning in person. The colors are awesome.

I hope you get time to grab this cute image.. Beach monkey inner tube.

It will be there for a week.

This is the cute monkey with his inner tube getting ready to head to the beach / pool.. I had some cute chip board pieces and used them on the card to give more color and eye joy.. I used the copic 0 and terry towel to give the monkey some fur texture.
