A Fishy Card Set

Hi!  I have a fun card set to share with you today!  I am a big fan of beachy stamp sets and recently pulled out a bunch of Lawn Fawn ones I had to create a card set for a friend:

This cute little fishy was colored with Prismacolor pencils.  The papers are by Doodlebug Designs- I love the colors!

The second one was stamped with navy and paper pieced together:

The papers from this one are a mix of Bella Blvd and Lawn Fawn.  I'm a sucker for cute patterned paper!

The third is also colored with Prismacolor pencils and features more paper from Bella Blvd.:

I added a few freckles to Mr. Crabby with a white Signo pen.

Here is my last one:

The whale was colored with Copic markers and shaded with Prismacolor pencils.  I love to mix them together!  The papers are Bella Blvd again and that awesome banner die is from Lawn Fawn.

This set was seriously fun to create!  It made me want to go to the beach, too!  lol!  :)

Thanks for stopping by today!

Showered With Love Card

I've had this adorable stamp set by Taylored Expressions for about a year- I'm glad I finally pulled it out to play!

Aren't the whales cute?  :)  I started the card by stamping the waves with different colored blue ink.  I like that they aren't perfectly lined up.  I stamped the sentiment next with black ink.  The whales were stamped with two shades of the blue ink I used previously and then diecut out.  I added foam adhesive and figured out where I wanted them to go.  Before adding them to the card, I stamped the spout above where the bigger whale would go.  I colored in the hearts with a red Copic marker and also added some sequins.  The whales were adhered last.  Here's a closer look:

I'm adding this to the latest Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge link up- it's all about animals!  :)

Hope you are having a great day!!

A Calico Whale Card

Hello!  It's a snowy Monday here in Northern Virginia and we managed to get the day off of school!  :)  My girls are happily in their jammies playing with Perler beads.  Thanks to Pinterest, they have found so many fun patterns for them lately!

While they are busy, I thought I'd share a card!  I made this one using the Critters Under the Sea set by Lawn Fawn:

I thought it would be fun to stamp this little guy onto some patterned paper and cut him out.  This paper is from the 6x6 pad of We R Memory Keepers Simply Spring line.  I stamped the sentiment, waves and his water spout with Midnight Muse ink from Stampin' Up and then added some white and navy ink splatters.  I used pop dots to add my whale to the scene.  Lastly, I embellished the top left corner with a little gray washi from My Mind's Eye and some epoxy dots from Teresa Collins.

I'm happy with how this little card turned out!  To tell you the truth, I had made a whole other card with this little whale- a CAS number that I hated!  I threw it away before I went to bed and when I woke up the next day, I pulled it out of the trash and took the whale off... it wasn't his fault! :)  I'm glad I saved him!

Well, hope you enjoy your day!  I'll be getting crafty with my girls for the most part so I will definitely be enjoying mine!
