Inspired by...Fish

 Hello everyone. We have a New challenge this week for the Inspired by...blog and the theme is Fish.  There's also a fun card sketch and color inspiration.  

Let's Get Started:

Here's how I was inspired. I chose to make my card according to the fish theme, colors, and card sketch. I love the Monochromatic Look.  I used a stamp set retired from Reverse Confetti called Punny Party. I stamped my 3 fish with a stamp block and memento Tuxedo black ink on white cardstock.  I then colored my images with my cool and warm copic markers.  I then fussy cut out my fish and stamped a sentiment from the same stamp set.

I glued my fish using the cards sketch and face them different ways. So much fun.  My white panel was cut to 4 x 5 1/4. I glued all to a gray top folding card base and my sentiment was cut with my paper trimmer. I love how easy this card was and makes a great CAS card.

I even glued two extra fish inside my card for fun.

I hope you join us.  Let us know how you are inspired whether it be the theme, card sketch, and or colors.  Upload to the first day the challenge starts which is every Thursday.

Join me on the Inspired By Blog every Tuesday!!!

You're So Eggstra

Hello everyone.  Happy Spring! I have a Easter card for you today.  I shopped my stash and used some retired Easter products.  It's nice when you can shop your stash.  

I first started off with white cardstock.  I cut out some eggs from a Reverse Confetti Egg Carton die set.  I was happy to grab this set before they closed last year.  I cut out the egg carton which has 2 pieces with purple cardstock. I then ink blended the eggs with Squeezed Lemonade Distress Oxide ink, Picked Raspberry Distress Oxide ink, Wilted Violet Distress ink, Spiced Marmalade Distress Oxide ink, Mowed Lawn Distress oxide ink, and Uncharted Distress ink.  I ink blended my egg carton a little bit with Wilted Violet Distress ink.  I then glued my eggs in the egg carton.

For my background, I cut out some white cardstock 4 x 5 1/4.  I used a retired Taylored Expressions Eggceptional rubber background stamp.  I inked it up with black ink and laid my cardstock on top.  I pressed all over and then lifted my cardstock.  I then used the retired coordinating stencil and laid my stencil over my cardstock.  I used the same Distress inks and ink blended the stamped eggs.  I love how it came out.  

I glued my background panel to a A2 top folding card base.  I adhered my eggs and egg carton with foam tape.  I stamped a sentiment also from Reverse Confetti on white cardstock with black ink.  I cut my sentiment in half and added foam tape to the back before adding them to my card.  I embellished with some clear sequins from Lucy's Things. I also added some white acrylic paint splatters.  I hope you like my card.  It was a lot of fun.  I love that sentiment.  Aren't we all Eggstra?
