Sending Mermaid Wishes

 Hello everyone.  I have a fun sea themed card today.  I didn't do any mermaid cards last month well maybe 1.  I now have one for June using A Colorful Life Designs Newest Release.  Use VonFan10 to save 10% off your purchase.

I used the New Fishy Frame 6x6 Stencil.  I think it's so much fun. Great for Summer themed cards.  I think fish are so calming on cards.  On white cardstock, I ink blended the Fishy Frame Stencil with Hero Arts Reactive Ombre Spring Day ink.  I think it's so soft and pretty.  I love how it came out.  I used a circle die from Waffle Flower Crafts to cut out my background.

Next, I stamped this Mermaid and Fish image with Memento Tuxedo ink on white cardstock from Hero Arts  called Mermaid Wishes.  I colored it with my Copic Markers and then fussy cut it out.  I stamped a sentiment from the same stamp set onto my circle die-cut with black ink.  I glued everything to a A2 card base and glued some sequins and added white gel accents with my white Gelly Roll pen.  I hope you like my card.  I had fun making it.  Check out the Newest Release here.

You Are One Of A Kind

 Hello everyone. I have a Koi Fish Card today.  This beautiful 6x9 Koi Stencil is part of A Colorful Life Designs Newest Release.  Use VonFan10 to save 10% off your order.

I started out with some gray cardstock 110 pound and ink blended the 6x9 Koi Stencil with Catherine Pooler Tiki Torch ink, Catherine Pooler Tiara ink, and Versafine Clair Nocturne ink.  I love how those inks look on gray paper. I flicked some white acrylic paint with water and a paint brush onto my background.

Next, I cut my background to be 4 x 5.25 an glued it to yellow paper 65 pound sized at 4.25 x 5.5.  I used a Hero Arts Sentiment fish tail banner that I had in my stash.  It was applied by foam tape to my panel.  My panel was then glued to a A2 Kraft  top folding card base.  I love how this card turned out. I did use this stencil on another card that I will share soon.  Shop the Newest Release here

On a piece of white paper 110 pound, I laid my stencil down over my paper and ink blended in Catherine Pooler Flirty Fuchsia, Catherine Pooler Lime Rickey, Catherine Pooler Tiki Torch, Catherine Pooler Tutti Frutti, and Catherine Pooler Aquatini.

I Truly Appreciate You!

 Hello everyone. I Truly Appreciate You, It's True.  I definitely should say that more.  I have a card I made using Pinkfresh Studio.  I have been wanting to use the Blooming Vines Set for awhile and today was the day. Yay!

I had so much fun using this set.  I started out using the Rubber background Stamp.  I placed some Neenah 110lb paper A2 size into my Misti Stamping Platform and stamped this background stamp with black ink.  I'm sure it would look amazing embossed too. I will have yo give it a try next time.  

I love that it has coordinating stencils because I was done in no time.  There are 4 stencils.  I used them in order with Concord & 9th ink cubes.  I started out with Parsley, Evergreen, Poppy, and Cranberry.  So pretty.  I used small blending brushes.

Next, I used the Coordinating die that cuts everything out at once..So good.  Once I had all my pieces, I arranged them onto a A2 Neenah 110 lb. panel with foam strips.  I stamped and heat embossed a sentiment from another Pinkfresh Stdio stamp set that is retired called Thankful For Friends.  I cut the sentiment to fit and adhered it with a foam strip. Next, I glued it to my A2 110 lb. card base.

To finish my card I embellished with some Emerald City Gems from Pinkfresh Studio and used my glitter pen to glitter my florals.  I love how it came out.

Here is a look at the sketch:

Here is what I made using the Sketch:

I finally used this cute bear from Sunny Studios Holiday Hugs Stamp set.  I stamped him out as well as the cup cake and sentiment with black ink on white 110 pound paper.  I colored using my alcohol markers and fussy cut everything out including the scripty sentiment.  I stamped and heat embossed on black paper for the secondary sentient and then cut it to fit.

I cut my pattern papers from LDRS Mackenzie Christmas paper pack 6x6 according to the sketch.  I love how easy this sketch is.  My bear takes the shape of the circle.  I glued everything to a A2 card base.  I love how it came out.  I hope you join us this month and add your card to the Build Your Stash Holiday Cardmakers FB group.
