Just keep swimming - SSC389

Hello and welcome back to another sketch challenge over at Sunday Stamps.  I took liberty with the sketch and went with shapes that closely resembled an oval for grins and giggles. 

The stamps and dies are from an old set; just keep swimming from Papertrey, Ink.

I ink blended the strip behind the whales and added bubbles before popping the whales down. I colored them both with Copic's. 

Thanks for stopping by.

Happy Birthday - SSC360

Welcome to another challenge over at Sunday Stamps. This time around we have a color inspiration board for you.

The sailboat dies are from the former Paper Smooches.  I also used an old Provo Craft embossing folder to create the waves and ink blended over it.  The tiny birthday sentiment is from The Paper Studio.

This is a fun color combo to work with. I can't wait to see what folks come up with. Link up here! 

Thanks for stopping by!

Winter scene

Hello. Playing in the Paper Players "Be a Deer" challenge today.

I ink blended the background using the trio of ink from Simon Says Stamp (morning, twilight, and galaxy).  Then added the black die cuts to create a silhouette scene.  I believe these dies are from Memory Box, however, I've had them in my stash for so long I can't remember.  I also added some snowflakes using embossing paste through a stencil. Lastly, I added a bit of white splatter and shimmer spritz to the card. 

Thanks for stopping by.

Grate

Hi everyone! I had to share this card I made for a co-worker who came out to Seattle to help me present a class. He's from So Cal and we had a great time working the class room together.

Stamps are from The Sweetstamp shop.  

I took some Butter dye ink from Lawn Fawn and using the round blending tool blended the ink in a circle. I did stamp the sentiment, cheese and grater first and heat set them before doing the ink blending.

Mounted this onto a black card base, added a white card insert to write on inside the card and called it good. You know guys, they like their cheesy cards clean and simple. 

That's all for today, for those in the USA, have a terrific Memorial Day weekend. I'm off to try and sell things from my Dad's estate so I can list the property for sale. Wish me luck!
