Water Colored Fish

Hello!

I have a quick post today sharing this month's Whimsy Release and my favorite medium lately, Karin Brushmarkers. This adorable set is called,  Best Fishes.  I love the faces on these! I water colored all of the images with Karin Brushmarkers.  I added a bit more depth and shadows using a black colored pencil. I also added high lights with a white gel pen. 

The images were fussy cut.  I created my own window panel using Whimsy's new Rounded Rectangles die.  I stamped the sentiment in between the panels.  The background paper is from the 

6 x 6 Cozy Winter Pack.  I popped the panels and fish up using Crafty Foam Tape.  Glossy accents was added to the balloons. 

For a finishing touch I added a sheer yellow ribbon and a scattering of hearts from the Sprinkletz-Sweetheart collection.  ( I am seriously addicted to these tiny hearts!)

So today I am headed to Misericordia for Cortney's 4 year annual meeting.  It is hard to believe she has been living and thriving there for 4 years!  She is so active and involved over there....it makes my heart happy.  I can rest easy each day knowing how much she is loved and cared for. :)

It's hard letting our kids go and live their lives....especially if they are intellectually disabled.  But this truly has been such a blessing for her.  And us. 

Have a great day friends!

Sweet Birthday!

Howdy!

I am sharing a birthday card with this adorable set from Whimsy Stamps called, Beaver Birthday.  I colored him in with Copic markers and fussy cut him out.  I embossed the sentiment from the same set but replaced, "Dam" with the die cut, Sweet.  I colored it in with Copic markers and gave it a shiny coating of Glossy Accents.  The balloons were also colored with Copics and given stripes and polka dots with a white gel pen. I added strings to both. 

I layered everything with Crafty Foam Tape and used paper from the 6 x 6 Paper packs, Giraffe and Cozy Winter.   I added a few Sparkletz for a finishing touch. 

Thank you so much for stopping by!

Eat CAAAAAAAAKE! Shaker Card!

Hello friends!

I hope you are all having a great week!

I have another card today sharing a brand new release from Whimsy Stamps.  This adorable set is called, Best Fishes!

Isn't this Lantern Fish the cutest?

I used Karin Brush Markers and fussy cut both him and the delicious cake! (The cake is from the new Beaver Birthday set)

I created a fun shaker card using the new Primitive Shaker Shapes Star.   Behind the star I used a spotted paper from the Cozy Winter pack. I added a few gems from the Winter Wishes Sparkletz and Crystal Stars.  The sentiment was stamped from the Best Fishes Sentiments.

Have a great day!

Whimsy's February Release! Woooohooo!

It's February 1st! And you know what that means? Whimsy stamp's February release! I have so many cards to share with you this month.  I had a hard time choosing which one to share today. Soooooo I figured Groundhog Day is Sunday right?  And aren't beavers sort of like a Groundhog?

Aren't they related? Anyone know? ;) LOL

How about a Beaver Valentine card?

I used the new Beaver Birthday set. 

I colored this little guy with Copics and fussy cut him out.  I stamped the sentiment in Versamark and heat embossed it in white. I used the new Primitive Shaker Shapes set.  I die cut the hearts and colored them with Copic markers.  I used a Wink of Stella for a bit of shimmer. To frame the image and hearts I also incorporated the new  Connected Oval Frame die.

I sponged a bit of pink ink onto my folded card base and adhered the Oval Frame die with glue. The hearts and beaver were layered using Crafty Foam tape.  I tied tulle and ribbon to the top and added a few Heart Sparkletz for a finishing touch.  

Have a great Saturday my friends! :)
