Seahorse Birthday Card

Simon Says Boldly Go. The image is from Tim Holtz' Seahorse Sketch stamp, the sentiment is Papertrey Ink's Movers & Shakers stamp set (stamped with Faded Jeans Distress Ink). The seahorse is painted with Squeezed Lemonade, Spiced Marmalade and Rusty Hinge Distress Inks smooshed on my craft mat and spritzed with water.  The background is painted with Tumbled Glass Distress Ink.

The seahorse is embellished with Black Diamond Stickles. Papertrey Ink True Black is used for a mat and the card base is Ocean Tides.

Enjoy the Journey

Simon Says Boldly Go. I used two of the stamps from Tim Holtz Visual Artistry The Journey. The plane is stamped with Versamark and then heat embossed with Zing! Neon Yellow Fluorescent embossing powder (which is very very bright lol). The sentiment is stamped with Black Soot Distress Ink. Then a frame of Peacock Stickles is drawn around the edges.

The Weiner Takes It All!

The card base is Papertrey Ink Classic Kraft. The background is stamped with two of the sentiments from Paper Smooches Paws for a Cause with Vintage Photo Distress Ink. The dog is also from Paws for a Cause stamped with Black Soot Distress Ink. Papertrey Ink Rustic Twine at the top.

Paper Smooches SPARKS Anything Goes and my 5th contribution to Simon Says Stamp-It.

Getting those ducks in a row

Lawnscaping: One Layer Challenge. The stamps are from Lawn Fawn Hello Baby. I used Tumbled Glass, Squeezed Lemonade and Spiced Marmalade Distress Inks spritzed with water to paint. I also entered it into the Simon Says Stamp-it challenge.

CASology Week 111: Under

My second contribution to CASology Week 111.  Under is used two ways. The first is images under "glass" (plastic packaging re-used). The chair is from Stampin' Up Have a Seat. And the twine is white hemp.

When the twine is pulled the sentiment is revealed under the chairs.

Since the chairs are stamped, I'm also entering it in Simon Says Stamp-It.

Make It Monday #178: Back to School Easel

Make it Monday #178: Back to School Easel.  I went with more of a cafe inspirational board, than a back to school Easel. Everything is Papertrey Ink except for the Zing! White Opaque Embossing Powder (which I think can be found at PTI also). I used the hexagon die from Make It Market Co.: Luxe Letterpress to make the legs of the easel. I followed some of the techniques in the Make It Monday #98: Chalkboard Technique. The sentiment is from A Little Inspiration stamp set and the flowers are from the Stamp-a-faire 1940's mini kit. The cardstock is Dark Chocolate and True Black.

CASology 111

CASology's cue word this week is Under... and my mind said "Da Sea".  On the inside I wrote "are you singing it yet?".

I used my very old decorative edged scalloped scissors to make the waves at the top of the card. And the crab is from a stamp set that pre-dates my blog and any notion that I might have to do anything except  use it lol. I think they might be from Sizzix, but if you know let me know. I used Festive Berries Distress Ink to stamp the crabs, and stamped with them with the back of the stamps.
