Hero Arts Togetherness Flower stamp set for sentiment.

Spellbinders Border Edge die.

I don't have the die set for these planters, but I did have a die cut 

negative piece, so I used that as a stencil for these pretty little planters.

I then cut them out using a Spellbinders Standard Circle die--worked pretty good!

Shore Do Love You!

Good afternoon!

Popping in with a little card I made for the MFT, Color Challenge.

 

 

I used the fun little stamp set by Reverse Confetti, Happy Harbor. It's full of sweet little images all beach, sea and harbor related.   I stamped the anchor image all over the background card stock willy nilly.  Then added a layer of vellum to soften the look, perhaps you could imagine the fog rolling in.  The center die is by MFT, Vertical Greetings, I also used their Notched Border die on the inside.  Spellbinders Classic and Scallop Circle dies.  Stampin' Up! inks in; Calypso Coral, Tempting Turquoise, Dove Gray by Memento.  Swiss Dots Embossing Folder to add some texture, a wee bit of Jute Twine knotted, eyelets and sequins to add accents.  

 



A fun little card using a fun little set.

 

Hope you are enjoying this happy day!

 

Enjoy~~   

You're Swell

Back Again! 

This card will be entered into the Challenge at Reverse Confetti, November Sketch and for the Challenge at CASology, Sea. 

 

And here is my Card:

 

 

I used the Happy Harbor stamp set from Reverse Confetti, super cute!  Pure Luxury card stock in Turquoise Sea and White, Designer Papers by Echo Park, A Perfect Summer.  I love that little anchor border stamp, it is just perfect!  The larger anchor ain't so bad either.  I punched a hole in the top and added a pretty  blue eyelet.  All stamped in Distress Ink, Broken China.  The sentiment is a great match for the Sea Challenge....well it's swell!  I also added some corner punches to frame this clean and simple sketch.  In hindsight I think I should have used an embossing folder on the white background, perhaps even just the Swiss Dots to add some texture....*snap*

 

Thanks for stopping by, appreciate you doing so.  The Reverse Confetti Sketch Challenge is open til November 29th, still plenty of time to play along!

 

Enjoy~~





Happy Columbus Day

Good Morning!  Hope you all can enjoy this Holiday and spend time doing what you love.  I have to work, but that's okay.....I guess.

Today's card will be entered into the Challenge at Reverse Confetti, October Sketch, and the Simon Says Monday, Challenge O.....Oh how I do love the Ocean!!!

I love the clean look to this Sketch, maybe you do too.

 

I bought my first stamp set from Reverse Confetti a couple of weeks ago and I FINALLY had some time to get it inky.  It's a super cute ocean themed set, surprise, surprise.  So I thought it was a perfect card and stamp set to showcase on this Columbus Day!  :)

 



  

Just look at all of those fabulous harbor related stamps, 14 in all.

 

And here is my card:

 



 

Super cute, right?  I stamped the Braided Rope 3 times on the bottom panel.  The Compass Rose was stamped on white card stock with dark blue ink and layered on a deep red card stock, using Spellbinders Classic and Scalloped Circle dies.  I ran the flag banner through my CuttleBug using the Swiss Dots embossing folder.  Stamping the Anchor Border twice in a light blue ink on my sentiment panel and then over stamping the sentiment, shore do love you, in deep red.....I LOVE that sentiment!  The Designer Paper is Sea Glass from K & Company, layered on white card stock and both panels popped up using a bazllion 3D adhesive dots.  Then I simply wrapped the whole thing in Baker's Twine with a knot.  I also stamped the Anchor Border on the inside of the card as well as the Flag Banner, to finish it off.

 



 

I think I have a lot of ideas for this fabulous set!  Stayed Tuned....Wink, Wink!

 

Hope you all have a wonderful day, whatever you do!

 

Enjoy~~
