2016 Congratulations card for my Grandson

Monday June 13, 2016

 

It's hard to believe that my grandson is graduating from high school and heading off to college.

I am so proud of him.. This card I pulled some of the colors from him jacket he wore for Crew.. His team went to Henley England in 2015 for some races. They did awesome. I have a photo of him below in his jacket.

Sunday June 12, 2016

 

I was just playing in my craft room and came up with this card.. I need a birthday card for my DIL.. I love the fresh colors and the background paper. The green plant I stamped and the sentiment but the upper left side is part of the paper.. I also used a piece of washi tape along the bottom to carry down the teal color.. I cut the butterfly from a stampin up die (on the solid teal of the butterfly I used an over all script stamp)  and added some bling to the body. Was a fun card to make..

I got this stamp set from Monika Reeck from Creative with Monika.. I won the male version called Chuck but have not received it from the company yet.. (been a few months now.. hum) anyhow she did not think she would use the one she had and knew that I won the male stamp set... so she sent it to me.. I have been itching to use it and saw Sunday that Sunday stamps had a sketch so I decided to make my card. I thought instead of the being a tennis outfit I would make it a paper pieced bathing suit or summer outfit.. She is quite a tall stamp so I cut her shorter.. I added some balloon to her one hand and wrote happy birthday one. In the other hand I did not want to cut out the hand and put on top of the skirt so I just added a bouquet of flowers... I added the summer die below and the sunglasses.. Great summer birthday card for someone.

Thursday June 9-21 2016

 

Welcome to an new challenge at Aud Sentiments #157

The theme for this two week challenge is Under the sea + sentiment

 

Our sponsor for this card is Aurora Wings

 

As soon as I got this image I knew what I wanted to do.. I chose the image called Mermaid wish.

I took three colors of ranger ink did the water color technique I always use.. I kept going till I got what looked like an underwater scene.. I then colored the image with copics and matched the water color paper. I then die cut the Sending three times out of some more water color paper to give it some depth.. Since she is holding a bottle I chose the sentiment Sending you joy and cheer..
