Let's Shell-ebrate!

Hi, everyone! Today I would like to share a fun card to add to my birthday card stash.  The Sketch Challenge and Color Challenge over at MFT were perfect for this new set I picked up recently, 'Turtley Awesome'.  The image was stamped with Stazon Jet Black, water-colored, cut out with the coordinating dies, then popped up with Foam Mounting Tape.  The clouds were cut out with the 'Cutest Clouds Ever' Dies. I also used a few dies from Divinity Designs LLC: Sentiment Strips, Pierced Rectangles, Matting Rectangle, and A2 Portrait Card Base with Layer Dies.

Thanks for stopping by!

Blessings,

Happy 30th Anniversary!

Hi, everyone!  This week's Featured Stamper over at Splitcoast is Karen aka ksenzak1....congrats, Karen!!  I chose this adorable cas card for inspiration today.  Tomorrow is Anniversary number 30 for hubby and I, so I created this card for him using the 'Wish You Were Hare' set by My Favorite Things.  He knows how busy I am since I work full time plus design for Divinity Designs, so he doesn't want me to spend a lot of time on cards for him. This set was perfect for a one layer card.  The image was stamped with Stazon Jet Black; the ears and nose were colored with a pink marker; a clear glaze pen coated the pink plus any of the spaces I wanted to stay white; lastly, the scene and image were colored with blending brushes and sponges using masking, reverse masking, and stenciling.  Cutting several masks took a little while, but I love how it turned out.  Since I don't have Copics, this is my fave way to color to achieve a smooth look.  I used a journaling pen to add the 30 to the heart.  The colors I used in my card are from the MFT Color Challenge, so I will be submitting to this as well.

Thanks for stopping by!
