Mermaid Card

 I wanted to use this cutie on a card and I had the perfect sentiment to go with it. I believe it is a Hero Arts but I am to lazy to get up and go look :) I used some DCWV paper and hand cut the flag.

I colored this Sassy Studio's image with Copics and added Stickles to the shells and inside the flower.
I used my Spellbinders to cut out the image and the background lacy oval.

Inky for the boys

Inky Impressions challenge this week is for the boys.

I accidentally ripped my paper getting it out of the paper pack and thought hmm that might look good and it did. I love the happy accidents that happen in crafting.

The image and sentiment are both from Inky Impressions. The sentiment is Heroes Dad Sentiment and the image is Father and Son Fun. I colored it with Copics and added some DP int he corner with a brad.
The DP is DCWV.

GDT Baby Card

The new challenge over at Card Mania for these two weeks is baby. How simple :)

 

How cute is this card? I just love how it came out. I used a previous sponsor, Sassy Studios image. Maxi Skirt Momma is colored with Copics. I used my Spellbinders to cut her out and inked the edge. I used Jaded Blossoms Simple Sayings stamps on the front and for the congrats. The smaller sentiment inside is a Pink by Design stamp.

I always add a little color to the inside of my cards. I think it just makes them that much more special.

Head on over to Card Mania and play along with the challenge.

 Astronaut Lili is just so stinking cute. I colored her with Copics and inked the edges.

Teal Birthday Card

I am happy to say that I will be guest designing with Card Mania for the entire summer. This week's challenge is flowers. How simple is that!? I used flower paper, embellishments and a stamp. Over achiever I know :)

This is actually two stamps. The background stamp and then a birthday sentiment. I was unsure how they would look together but liked the result. The sentiment is Fiskar and the background I believe is too but I am not sure.

The inside is a Stampendous birthday set sentiment.

Summer Scripture Cards

I wanted to try something new and saw some what looked like painted card fronts on Pinterest so I thought I would give it a shot.

I used Inspired Stamps scripture stamp John 14:6 on both these cards. I used some tempera paint and a sponge brush. I just randomly brushed summer inspired colors on the top card. I then took a small paint brush and flicked some color spots on the top. I did have to add a few drops of water to thin the blue out to flick.

This card I just got silly and painted a sun and some waves. Nothing says summer like swimming. This is one of my favorite scriptures.
These cards will be heading to Operation Write Home.
