Make a splash

The Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge is: A day at the beach.

For my card I've used the Whimsy stamps' Hippo Beach Fun.

I stamped it with Gina K amalgam ink and colored it with Triblend markers.
The sentiment is from the same set and I've stamped it with Versafine Clair ink.

For the beach I've diecut circles from all colors of cardstok, then ripped them to make the waves and foam. Stacked them back together and mounted the hippo on top.

Cat on the Moon

The Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge is: Reach for the Stars, Showcasing Simon Says Stamp Products.

I've used the Simon Says Stamp It's your Birthday 3x4 set and an oldie but goodie from  Penny Black called Cat on the Moon.

I've stampd the image onto Crafter's Companion Marker paper and colored it with Spectrum Noir markers, had the Scan N cut do the cutting.

For my galaxy I inkblended Distress inks through a mask and then splattered Brushed Pewter Distress Spray Stain, Dylusions white Linen and Shimmer spray Sparkle for my stars.

The sentiment I've stamped with Versafine Clair ink.

I wanted something like reach for the stars as my sentiment, but I don't seem tohave it, or welcome baby, but then I thought birthday cards are always needed.

Mounted the cat with foamtape and adhered it on top

AAA Cards Challenge #170: Maxi White space + flowers, with video

This fortnight the AAA Cards Challenge is to made Maxi white (empty) space with the option to use flowers.

Our sponsor is Crafty Scrappers and oyu could win...


For my card I used a solid kitty from Moda Scrap: funny cat and I stamped it with Memento inks, then shaded one side by applying a darker Memento ink with a finger dauber.

The I stamped the littlest flower from the Fairy Happy set by My Favorite Things and elongated the stem as if the cat is holding it.

Added a bit of grass to ground the cat and

coloured the flower with Polychromos pencils. This is my normal DCP cardbase so  very very smooth and probably not suited for pencils, but for these tiny buts, I felt it's better than alcohol  markers that seep through to the inside.

Christmas in July One Layer Card

One Layer and Christmas in July is the new challenge over at Less is More.
For my card I cut a piece of masking paper to the size of my card.
Diecut a circle from it and then I diecut the trees from the circle, they are Joy Crafts! 6002/1335.

I applied both masks and then inkblended Memento inks inside (Paris Dusk, Nautical blue, Teal Zeal and Summer sky); then splatted with water and Lawn Fawn Liquid Stardust.

Stamped the Purple onion  Silhouettes Santa on the way and the sentiment from My Favorite Things  Bitty Holiday Wishes. I've used Versafine clair ink for both, then dried it with my heat tool.
