Meet Sailor Simon!  So cute!!!  And I absolutely love this digi paper pack, Sail Away.  Those polka dots are the best.  There is an accessory kit available that has an anchor and wheel included, but I created my own anchor .svg and cut it with my Cricut.

Tuesday Morning Sketches #148

Good Morning!  Happy Tuesday!  We're playing with a fabulous sketch that was drawn by Kathy and we're sponsored by Meljen's Designs.

My card features an adorable image by Meljen's called Tulip Buggies....


This card was so much fun to create - the colors are summery and then I decided I needed it to shimmer, too.


I haven't thought of this technique in a long time.  But after I colored the image I covered it with embossing ink and Iridescent Ice embossing powder.  I love this look!

Head on over to play along with us.  And there's still time to apply to the Design Team.  I'm not allowed to post it on Splitcoast Stampers, so I'd appreciate it if you spread the word that we're looking for a few new members.

Supplies:
Image: Tulip Buggies (Meljen's)
Card stock: Neenah Classic Crest, So Saffron (SU!), By the Bay (Raisin Boat)
Paper: Country Drive (Echo Park)
Copics: B000, B02, C7, RV000, RV10, RV13, Y06, Y11, Y15, YG03, YG06

Paper Pretties Monday

Good Morning!  Hope you've been enjoying a nice holiday weekend.  I certainly have been.

This week's challenge at Paper Pretties is to make a Graduation Card.  ARTish and Fawn have created some pretty cute grad images.  I chose to work with Grady by ARTish.


My card is created based on a sketch by the Deconstructed Sketch and it was perfect to keep this card pretty clean and simple.  I plan on sending this one to my nephew who graduates in a couple of weeks.

Supplies:

Card stock: Neenah Classic Crest, Black, Real Red
Copics: 100, C5, C7, E30, R02, R11, R27

Just playing around....

Happy Holiday weekend everyone!  I hope you're all doing well.  Yesterday we had a cookout at a friends house and today has been spent just lounging around and doing whatever we felt like doing.  So what I felt like doing was playing with the stamps that arrived from Sweet n Sassy.  I won a prize during their birthday month, so I needed to play.....


I've been trying to make myself use some of the card kits that I have stocked up, this paper and embellishments were from one of those kits.  I wasn't crazy about the images, but I LOVED everything else in it.

My card is also using the fab sketch from The Sweet Stop.


I loved the embellishment that was included in this kit, the warm tiger's eye was perfect with this kit.  The maker did it right!  I am pleased with how this card turned out.

Supplies:
Stamps:  Flowers in Bloom (SNSS)
Card base:  Chocolate Chip (SU), Mud Pie (Raisin Boat)
Tools:  Beaded Circle dies (Spellbinders)
Copics:
