Tulip Sentiment

This is a quick and easy card.  The background is cut and embossed with the Marianne Designables folder.  Mat this piece with pink cardstock.  Stamp the Tulip from Stamp Shoppe Creations with black ink in the rectangle frame.  Then color the tulip with Copic Markers.  Stamp the sentiment onto white cardstock and cut out with the petite oval die.  Leave the die over the paper and sponge with Victorian Velvet Distress Ink.  Remove the die and pop up the sentiment on the card.  Add some Lilac Viva Decor Pearls and allow them to dry.  Now you have a clean and simple card!!

A fin-tastic day

Here's hoping that you have a fin-tastic Monday! I was using my shimmer mist sprays to make this background. After the ink dried, I stamped the swirl background by Impression Obsession over the tope with VersaFine black ink. It is hard to see the shimmer on the picture, but the background has a definite shimmer to it! I stamped the dolphin by Stamp Shoppe Creations and colored him with Copic Markers. Then I cut out the square, but cut around the head, so the dolphin looks like it is jumping out of the water. The I used a few swirl die cuts to look like a splash. The sentiment is also a Stamp Shoppe Creations stamp and I cut it out with a Nestabilities label die. Leaving the die on the paper, I sponged with a Blue Distress Ink. Thanks for stopping by!

New Valentines!

Just arrived...the new Stamp Shoppe Creations stamps. I will be posting some samples this week of the new images. Here is Mona Monkey with love all the way to her tail. I used a cuttlebug background technique that I will be teaching in the More Cuttlebug class coming up in February. You can see a list of classes on our website. Mona was colored with Copic Markers. The flowers and swirls were cut with Marianne design dies. The sentiment, also new from Stamp Shoppe Creations was cut out with the Spellbinders small petite oval die. I added some faux stitches and some black lines to finish off the card. Thanks for looking!!
