It’s a Jungle

Posted on August 1, 2015 7:40 AM by Julie Comment

For Kittie’s Dare to Get Dirty Challenge today on Splitcoast! The details are HERE, but you’ll need to be a Fan Club member…it’s easy, just click to find out how.

I’m thinking my little jungle scene kind of describes our weather. Hot, humid & the leopard is just hanging out trying to keep cool. After stamping the leopard , I masked him & sponged in the background & sky then colored him with Copics. The greeting was rearranged to fit the die cut oval & I cut around his feet & tail to slip it under.

The brown die cut frame was added on top then I punched out about a bajillion leaves in different shades of green, scored & sponged them before adding them all on top to look like the jungle floor. Here are the Copics I used to color it.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Hooked on Mermaids

Posted on July 27, 2015 11:04 AM by Julie 1 Comment

Today’s Clean & Simple Challenge (CAS335) is all about the beach! I thought these shells, waves & mermaid would fit right in. The hardest part about this card was finding an ink that would stick to this shimmery lt. teal card stock.

I wanted to stamp the shells & highlight the seahorse & waves with a blue ink & I only have Stazon in white & black. I tried Distress ink, Memento, Chalk ink..nothing would stick. Until I got out my Ancient Page. Success! So after stamping & coloring the mermaid, I fussy cut her & the stamped shells. The waves & seahorse were die cut & highlighted w/ ink. The circle burst was also die cut & I used the white Stazon to stamp the wave pattern inside.

After it was all attached to the card, I stamped the greeting & added stickles for sparkle. These are the Copics I used on the mermaid.

From Our Bright House

Posted on July 24, 2015 11:44 PM by Julie Comment

How fun! The IC Challenge (IC503) is a Pinterest board full of Beachy images & houses. I was really inspired by THIS picture w/ all its bright colors and tall houses.

For my bright house card, I had a water color background I made a week or so ago when I was experimenting with Brushos. So I used a strip of it and die cut my buildings out of matching colors then mixed them up. I used one edge of a pierced rectangle die to make the top sections and a curved border die to make the blue bottom section. After stamping the greeting, I addd a Candi dot & done!

Here’s a look at the inside using some leftover pieces.
