Somthing Fishy

I love playing the progressive challenge with

Limited Runs Digital Stamps.

This is my card for the Challenge.

For the background I started with adding some

inkt to my craft sheet± 2 colors of blue and one green.

I sprayed some water in the ink.

The I swiped a piece of paper to the craft sheet

and this is the result.

The next step is a stencil (funkyfossildesign.co.uk),

ink and an applicator.

The result of using the stencil.

 

After coloring the fish image with stampin'blends,

I added a wobble spring behind the fish and the result 

you see the result.

Thanks for looking

Simon Says: Midsummer Blues

Here is my card for the Midsummer Blues challenge 

on the Simon Says Blog.

There is lots of swimming in the Summer in 

the sea and pools, that inspired me to make this card.

You find all the details of the challenge on the

Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Blog.

I started the card by printing the sentiment on the paper.

I had no right sentiment, so this was the solution.

Then I used the Tim Holtz stencils to make the background.

The dark blue circles are cut with SU! dies

and the fish is a stamp by Michael Strong.

Create with TLC Vintage Summer Blog Hop

Welcome to the

CREATE WITH TLC VINTAGE SUMMER BLOG HOP.

I hope you arrived here from

Faith's Blog

and see what awesome art she made.

If you happen to loose your way,

you can always go back to the Create with TLC Blog,

where you find all 14 paricipants.

You don't want to miss any blog,

for on all blogs you can find FREEBIE images.

Now let's show you what I came up with:

When i started making mycards, I had a slight

printer problem.....everything came out sepia!

Needed to order new color refills, but that took time,

so as this is a Vintage Summer hop, I thought it

was just a fun coincidence and I decided to use them

for my cards.

This card is build up in layers. I was thinking

of the old fashioned photograpers, where one

poses for a picture and then it is behind

a cut out shape. 

Here is the colored image for you to grab and make your own 

cards with. Just click with your right mouse button

and save it to your computer.

I cut out the shape from kraft colored cardstock

and embossed it with a wavy shape, that I colored 

with vintage photo distress ink. The sentiment is also from 

Create with TLC and you find it as another freebie below.

So I decorated the card with paper flowers, a ribbon

and some cut out shells. I colored the shells with 

glitter glue.

For my second card I wanted a little more color and 

for this I  used a few stencils and distress oxides inks.

The sun is a die and the sentiment is one I found in my

Create with TLC sentiment folder and perfect for this card.

At the bottom of the card some raffia is tied around

and a flower added. Love the powder pink color for

vintage cards.

Yeah!! my cartidges arrived yesterday and now I can print the 

Summer image in color. I decided to make some ATC's with it.

So I printed the image small size (that is the advantage of

digital images, you can use them anysize!)

This is card 1:

atc's are 3,5x2,5 inch, so it is small

even though you do not see this on the picture.

The sentiment is another oldie from

Create with TLC, the seahorse is by

Michael Strong.

For card 2 I used the shell stamp by

Michael Strong and added cute little 

sticky pearls. I cut up the sentiment

for a more decorative look.

Here - on card 3 - I used the complete sentiment.

Blue baker's twine because of the sea

and the fish stamp from Michael Strong

is stamped on shrinky dink, so now it

is small enough for the atc.

Well enough ideas I think for you to use the

great image and sentiments from Create with TLC.

Not enough? Go to 

Ileana's Blog

and see what she has come up with

and what freebies she has for you.

Thank you for looking

and have a creative day!

Art Neko: koi

This card is made with an Art Neko rubber stamp

called Koi Pond and can be found here.

I made the card for the Oriental Stamp Art group

where the technique of the month is Faux Stitching.

I stamped this with a kaleidacolor Desert Heat.

This is a multi color inkpad.

Next I used a ruler with holes (from Tim Holtz) and a 

craft pick pen all around the image. With a black marker

I went from hole to hole to make the faux stitching.

Next i stamped the sentiment in black on the right top corner,

glued the panel to black paper and then onto the deep red card.

Thank you for looking

and have a creative day.

Sunday Scrap page: Gone Fishin'

Happy Sunday!

I received these wonderful pictures of Owen fishing.

He desperately wanted a fishing rod,but mom and dad could not

find him the right one. So what did mom do?

She took a twig and tied some string to it.

They have water behind their house,so Owen went out to fish.

But waiting to catch one is rather long,

so I added a Michael Strong fish here!

The papers and sentiments are all by Club Scrap 

Lakes kit. It was a perfect fit to these photo's.

I stamped and embossed the fishes on the vellum paper that

came with this kit.The eyes are little sticky gemstones.

Thank you for looking!

Have a creative day!
