Shell - O Friend!

 Shell-O Friends! Now who doesn't have a mermaid friend that wouldn't just love to receive this card?

This is Make A Splash Meadow by Crafty Stamp Co.  Isn't she just the most adorable little mermaid?  She's just swimming along with her little jellyfish friend from the Just Jelling Stamp Set.  

This card is set on a backdrop of patterned paper from the Mermaid Dreams collection.  And of course, no mermaid would be without a ring of bubbles, which I cut from pearlized vellum using the Bubble Wreath Die.  

• I used COPIC markers in the following colors:

• E00, R00, R11 E70 - Skin
• V000, V01, V12 - Hair
• B41, B12, V12 - Tail

Isn't she just beautiful?  I am just in love with this card.  

Thanks for stopping by and I hope you have some summer adventures planned.

The Little Things

 

Hello!  Today I have this happy little card that I created using a stamp set called Little Things by Gerda Steiner Designs.   I love the little glasses on this guy.

To create this card, I stamped this little guy on a 5.5" x 4.25" Hammermill Cardstock, Premium Color Copy, 100lb paper.  I always use this paper for ink blending.  I will use it for Copic coloring occasionally when I need a larger surface but always for ink blending and hot foiling.  I prefer to use X-Press It Blending Card but it is pretty expensive, so I use it mostly to stamp smaller images and cut them out with dies or my scan and cut.  I used a post it not to make a mask to cover this guy so I can ink blend the background.    I used an old stencil from My Favorite Things.  I used Speckled Egg and Tumbled Glass Distress Oxide Ink.

I colored him in the following Copic colors:

• W00, W0, W1, W3, W5, W7
• G21, G24, G94
• Y13, Y18

With my little mole square finished, I used one of the dandelions from the set to stamp the bottom corner and the bee to stamp the upper corner.  I used a marker to make the little dashed line behind the bee.

To finish my card, I glued my white cardstock piece on top of a piece of green cardstock cut to 5.5" x 4.25"  and then glued it to a card base.

This is a really quick card to make and is just perfect for notecard.

Thank you for stopping by and I hope that you enjoy a few little things today!
