Sailing on the Tide of Love

Hi all, this card is for my oldest grandson he turned 16 on Friday, were has the time gone. To tell you what a great young man he is becoming he comes up in the morning and we go for a walk then talk over coffee. These talks are pure gold for me and I will treasure them for ever.

I made a shaker card. I started by stamping the Adirondack Chair coloring with Copic markers then die cutting with the inside the box technique. For the shaker part I use two sheets of acetate cut larger than the cut out. I used foam tape on all four sides then added the sequins and glitter then added the other sheet of acetate. I stamped the Sailboat then colored with Copic's. The Small 1 Line Happy Birthday was stamped and  die cut.

For the inside I use the Family and Friends Birthday Greeting and the 4 in 1 Seashells.

  On the back I used the one of my favorites Share My Heart. 

Have a wonderful day,

Janett

I have added this card to the following challenges.

Tuesday Morning Sketch 

Under Sea Friends

Hi everyone,

It has been a stressful week here, my Dad has taken to turn for the worst. I had to hire some help it has just become to much for me to do everything on my own. Your prays would be very much appreciated.

 

For my card I used the Mermaid, Happy Octopus, Four in One Background, 4 in 1 Seashells, they were colored with Copic markers. I colored the edge of the scalloped rectangle with Copic markers. On the white panel I used the Scalloped Border Two. Then I cut a strip of white paper wider than the die cut and covered it with Score Tape and added sequins this was attached with foam tape to the back of the white panel. I used foam tape to attached it to a dark purple layer then a white card.

Have a wonderful day,

Mermaid on the rocks

DRS designs has a new challenge and we are showing the new beach stamps.

I just got back from a trip to Panama City Beach so I had a lot of inspiration for the new beach stamps.

I started by stamping the new Mermaid I colored her tail with Copic markers BG 57,53,18, G 43, BG 0000, Y00 and added glitter glue to her tail, her skin is E 00,11,RV 10 Hair E 55.57,59. Then I fussy her. I drew her a rock to set on and colored with Copic E 08,15,35. I stamped the Star fish from the new 4 in 1 Seashells and fussy cut. The water is BG 13, 57. The white caps were made using Copic Opaque White and a flat brush. For the layer in between the die cut I used extra sticky tape and sand that I brought back from the beach along with a knotted twine and a seashell that came from the beach.  

Join us in the fun challenge.

Have a wonderful day,

Janett
