Today’s Sketch Challenge (SC549) looked really interesting so I gave it a try. Actually my card is pretty easy…

…except for the part where after die cutting all the sections, I had to put them back together & make them fit inside the matting die. Yep..not that part. The background on top was already made & in my stash so that was easy. It’s a water color w/ Brushos & splattered w/ gold acrylic paint. The gold embossing of the stars & splatter was easy…but not the greeting. I had to do a lot of masking to combine two greetings, so not that part. And not the part where I accidentally hit the spoon sitting in the jar of embossing powder & it went everywhere…definitely not that part. But die cutting the gold star which just happened to be the exact right size of the original image was easy 🙂

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Today’s Color Challenge (CC538) uses sand, melon & island indigo. So I created a little underwater scene & put a large circle cut out frame around it. I stamped the mermaid & octopus first, masked them then stamped the sand castle, sand lines, seaweed, bubbles and splatter (for sand). I added some dots of masking fluid to her tail section so when I colored it, they would stay white. After I was finished, I rubbed it off. I like how it looks like the sparkle of the scales. I added a large circle frame, the greeting, shells and more sand.

I cut around her tail and a few of the octopus tentacles to slide the edge of the circle frame under. It may be hard to see, but I also added some clear Wink of Stella here & there all over for some sparkle. In real life, it’s super sparkly! The finished card is 4.25 x 5.50 and these are the Copics I used.

Supplies:

Stamps: DRS Designs –Mermaid, 4 in 1 Seashells, Octopus, Sand Castle

Paper: Neenah white, X-Press It white

Ink: Memento tuxedo black, toffee crunch, angel pink

Accessories: Copic markers, masking fluid, Wink of Stella, Spellbinders A2 matting basics A, circle dies

Shower Stencil glue 06336 — **card with hot glue stencil**

Today’s Ways to Use It Challenge(WT538) asks us to use sequins. I’m also using one the Technique Challenges (TLC533) from a few weeks back which had us making a stencil using a hot glue gun.

I first made the stencil on a hot glue mat, peeled it up (when cool) and placed it on my card stock. Then I sponged on the colors from a rainbow pad and spritzed it a bit using some thinned down white acrylic paint in a fine mister. I think I actually liked the stencil better than the result, lol. It looked a little undefined so I used a Micron pen to sort of outline the petals. Here’s what the stencil looks like.

I die cut the layers, stamped the greeting, added a fussy cut umbrella and attached the sequins (upside down, just for a change).

Thanks so much for stopping by! If you haven’t, please check out the DRS Thursday Challenge– this week..Splatters (image, spritzing, paint, whatever!) DRS images are not required & a nice prize is up for grabs!
