Feeling Fishy?

Stamptacular Sunday Challenge #67 - SKETCH
This week's challenge is sponsored by Stamp and Create 
PRIZE: $20 Gift Certificate

 
 
 
 


Here is my DT card for this week's challenge...
 I love summer, and lately the weather in Virginia has been awesome!  That's what inspire me to create yet another fishy card.  Not to mention that I wanted to try something new (to me at least) - There are two "window" features on this card!

Here's a larger view of my fishy friends.  Doesn't it look like they are really swimming about under the sea?!  See all the bubbles?  I really wish I could have taken a better picture of this, because this picture does not do the justice this piece deserves.  I built the background for this part by cutting a piece of paper in a wave pattern, then I used it as a stencil to sponge on alternating shades of blue.  The seaweed stamp is from  Stampin' Up! Tropical Party. The fish is by Recollections Feeling Fishy.  I could not resist adding their googly eyes!

Here is a close-up of the Shaker Box.  The background was created with torn pieces of cardstock, which was flicked with a bit of ink.  I enclosed a couple seashells, a bit of sand, and dew drops.
I hope you'll join us at the Stamptacular Sunday Challenge. I'm looking forward to viewing your lovely creations!

Season's Change

Welcome back, Friends!  Come join me this week for Stamptacular Sunday Challenge #78 - "Season's Change!" This week's challenge is to create a card or project using ONLY colors of Fall!   Oooh, how pretty, huh?! Our SPONSOR this week is  Magnolialicious Our lucky winner's PRIZE:  Here is my DT creation for this week's AWESOME challenge theme.... An inside view of the card, and custom envelope/box. All of the flowers on this card are handmade. I know, you're probably thinking, "oh what a lot of work!"  Actually, it really is not. I use paper punches to create the flowers and leaves. So, whenever I have very small scraps of paper I punch them with my floral punches & store them in a box for future use. It's very convenient for me to have the pieces already punched too. Then, whenever I get bored or often while I watch TV, I "form" the flowers & store them away so that they're ready when I need them. This is my box o...

Spring Flutterings

I had to squeeze some "quiet time" in today, because I did not have anytime last week to do anything.  My 8 month old "Baby Diva" has kept me busy, as she is staying with me while her Mommy is out of town till Wednesday.  Fortunately, she is such a good baby.  She must have known I was feining for some crafting time, because she was so cooperative! I was kind of all over the place with this card.  It has a little bit of everything: Stamping, stitching, handmade flowers ( you know me & my handmade flowers!), border punches, and a pretty butterfly.   I wanted to try making a new flower.  The larger flower was created using an apple, star & daisy punches.  Each of the flower centers have a touch of bling by Viva Decor glitter pen in "Hologram."  The butterfly was cut from a Nesties die.  I blinged up each layer with stickles & hit with 2 coats of Crystal Effects.  I used Kaiser Craft pearls in "Bliss" for th...
