Be Fierce!

Hi, everyone!  This week's Sketch Challenge over at Splitcoast reminded me of a lion, so I dug out this 3D stamp which I bought from Gray Wolf Stamps at a stamp show many years ago. (I think they are out of business now, unfortunately.)  The lion was stamped four times and the layers were fussy cut and popped up with Foam Mounting Tape after being colored with markers. I didn't have a sentiment to match, so I cut out the individual letters and made my own sentiment.  This is for my teenage nephew who is into martial arts....this is very fitting for him. The dies used for this card are from Divinity Designs LLC: Oval Stitched Rows, Ovals, Pennant Flags, Double Stitched Pennant Flags, Double Stitched Rectangles, Pierced Rectangles, and Letter board. Black metal brads were added to the corners and a clear glaze pen was used on the eyes.

Thanks for stopping by!

Blessings,

You're A Great Catch!

 

Hi, everyone!  This week's Inspiration Challenge over at Splitcoast is to find inspiration from Paper Hearts Designs.....I chose this awesome color palette to help me create this bluegill card for my hubby's birthday.  Since I water-colored the fish, the colors aren't as bright as in the photo.  I picked up the bluegill stamp many years ago at a stamp show, from Gray Wolf Graphics (I think this company does not exist anymore.)    They also sold the fish eyeball stickers at the same booth.  I looked for some designer paper to match the dark blue cube in the palette and found an old Basic Grey paper pad with some manly designs.  The remaining items used are from Divinity Designs LLC: Weathered Wood Collection Paper Pad, sentiment from 'Great Catch' Stamp/Die Duos set, Foam Mounting Tape, and the following dies: Vintage Labels 2, Pierced Vintage Labels 2, Pierced Rectangles, Matting Rectangle, Treat Tags, and A2 Portrait Card Base with Layer.
