Beach babe

Good morning. Played around with the theme challenge over at Less is More, which is "life's a beach" and paired it with the Sweet Sunday sketch to come up with this.

I got this stamp over at Stamping Bella, which is from Mo Manning. She's stamped onto X-Press blending paper and colored with Copic markers.

I thought the sketch was a perfect backdrop to use and turned it on its side. That half circle was clearly the sun to me.

Added some glossy accents to her sunglasses and drink but it's kind of hard to see unless you enlarge it.

Thanks for stopping by!

Hang in there

Hi everyone! Came across two items in my "to make into cards" area on my desk and they worked themselves into a pretty cool card - no pun intended.

I made the blue piece a while ago when dropping water into splats was all the rage. Well, they're more dots than splats anyway, so I'll link this up to the Addicted to CAS Dots challenge. 

The girl is a digi stamp from Mo Manning and colored with Copic's. I added a bit of sparkle in the snow falling and wind elements using the clear wink of Stella brush.

Sentiment is an old one from the former Angel Company that I stamped and cut out using a tag die from Paper Smooches. A little bit of red and white baker twin tied into a bow finishes it off.  I chose this sentiment as a message to all of us to "hang in there" during the stressful Holiday season. We don't have to do it all and remember to delegate to your family! They have to learn sometime! right?

Time to relax!

Happy first day of Summer! I thought I'd share this card to get you excited about relaxing in the sun!

Stamp is called little umbrella from Mo Manning (purchased through Stamping Bella) and colored with Copics. I also sponged on some summer sky memento ink for the sky!

The sentiment did come with the stamp and I think it's so very true!! All cardstock is from Papertrey, Ink.

I hope you find time to relax this weekend! Thanks for stopping by!
