Atlantic Hearts #634

 Hello and welcome crafty friends!

I've been busy in my craft room making

cards again. It's good to

have Mr. Mojo back in town. 😊

I made this card on Tuesday, but I'm only

getting around to posting about it:

I only just noticed that one of the design team members had the

same idea I did! GMTA! Wouldn't it have been bizarre

if we used the same exact piece of paper?!

Being Pride Month, I wanted to use some fun designer paper

that had rainbow colors in it. On the back side of the paper, I hand

sketched the design but mirrored it, then used scissors to cut

the pieces out. I didn't mind that they were wonky, I'm really

liking that look on this card! A white heat embossed sentiment

and some rhinestones finishes the card front.

Since I'm notorious for sending out birthday cards after

the birthday, I figured I'd own that with this

sentiment on the inside:

This card is based on the current challenge at Atlantic Hearts.

Thank for visiting and happy first day of Summer!

Hello there and welcome!

I'm really trying to replenish my 

stash of birthday cards.

Here's another card I'd like to share: 

I had this (in hindsight, not so) brilliant idea to use the

negative of a die cut for my focal image, and let the

paper behind it show through. I forgot about the few itty bitty

pieces that had to be put back. Trying to glue a tiny bit

of cardstock that's smaller than a pin head made me

feel stabby, but I did it. (I'm never doing that again)

I did first try using a white marker to fill in the 

two tiny spots, but it wasn't opaque enough.

Here's the finished inside:

Now I have yet another birthday card done! Yay!

That's all for now. Thank you for visiting.

I hope that you have a great day!

 Hello crafty friends and welcome!

I made a card that combines a few challenges

and I'd like to share it:

It looks rather CAS for me, but there's actually 5 layers on this, not

including the card base. I've used DP from a collection that

looks like alcohol ink blends. I cut a strip for the diagonal element,

as well as using more to fussy cut the wine in the glass. I used

a red marker to darken the 'surface' of the wine. The

tiny bunch of grapes came with the same stamp set as the 

wine glass, and I colored it with Prismacolor pencils.

I didn't want to hide that gorgeous strip of paper, so I cut

the circle element from vellum.

A couple stamped sentiments and a bit more of 

the same DP on the inside finishes my card.

That's it for now. We've had a nice run of beautiful days, and

so I'm going out to enjoy the day.

Thanks for visiting!

SISTERHOOD OF SNARKY STAMPERS #209 - U is for Underwater

Hello and welcome back snarky peeps!

It's time for the new challenge at the

SISTERHOOD OF SNARKY STAMPERS!

For the next two weeks, we'd like to see your

underwater creations!

Here's what I came up with:

I used a new (to me) die cut plate that cuts an underwater

scene. Some blue ink blended DP serves as my watery backdrop.

The three fish cut outs I glued in the middle. I gave my

mermaid silhouettes some glam with gilding flakes, then added some

second generation bubble stamps at the top, and a few 

shells to finish the front.

 A simple sentiment finishes the inside.

I hope that you'll join my Sisters and our reigning Queen,

Monika, for our Underwater challenge at the

Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers!

Thanks for visiting!
