Simon Says: Anything goes

Here is my card for the Anything Goes challenge

on the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Blog.

Sometimes you need these cards and you just have to have

a few in your stash. This card is made with 2 Club Scrap

stamps. The stones are from Transformations 2015

and the sentiment is from Reaching Out 2015.

Now I am looking for this  sentiment stamp:

If one of you has this one lying around,

please let me know and I would love to

give it a great stamping home.

Thank you for looking

and have a creative day!

Stencil Time 8

Sometimes you have a need for sympathy cards

and these days I need a few. I came up with this idea

with the stencil and green and brown ink.

The papers and sentiments are all by Club Scrap.

Sentiments are from March 2014 Trees.

Start with laying your fern stencil on top

of the paper.

Take the green ink and a blending tool

to sponge all around the fern stencil.

Now take the brown ink and just go

around the fern, not the whole panel.

Move the stencil to the other part of the panel

and take the green ink again and

rub again just around the fern.

You will see 2 tones of green when you move

the stencil away.

Stamp on a seperate piece of white paper

your chosen sentiment and mat it on the kraft

paper. Move it onto the place you want it

and use the stencil again. Lightly add some

brown in on the sentiment. 

On the finished cards I added some gemstones that came 

with the Woven Strands kit.

Thanks for looking and remember Blog Hop on Wednesday!

I have a sneakpeek for you tomorrow........

Have a creative day!

Sympathy Card

Sometimes you need to make a sympathy card

to say goodbye to a loved person.

This time it is for someone from our boatclub,

so I choose to use the Lighthouse set from Stampin Up!

In the background you see also other SU! stamps:

the big background stamp called Cheesecloth

and a stamp from The Open Sea set.

The Dutch sentiment means: with sympathy.

I stamped the with brown ink to give the card a little vintage

atmosphere and only used a little color with pencil.

The flag on top of the lighthouse are the colors of our

boatclub. The sunrays in the back is done with the

ATC-size cuttlebug folder from Tim Holtz Aterations

and I colored it with mustered seed distress ink.

On the seagull I added a drop of glossy accent.

Have a creative day!

In Memory of Michael Jackson
