Waves .....

 

This card was made as my entry into the Country View Challenge blog for August 2020 whose theme is 'I Do Like To Be Beside The Seaside' ......

I used a white card blank as the base and selected some papers from Websters Pages and used this as a background. I trimmed out some seaside word too. The paper was trimmed and stamped with some stamps from PinkPaislee in Distress Inks. I also stamped the anchor onto the base. Ithen stamped the shells in Versafine black ink on white card, these were trimmed out and coloured with Distress ink and Posca pen. The Sea-Side circle was stamped in red Versafine Clair, trimmed out and given a shine with Glossy Accents.  The shells were added along with the circle on foam pads. I then applied a metal dolphin charm with hot glue. The words were attached next, some of foam pads.

The 'Making Waves' was stamped in blue Versafine Clair onto blue card, trimmed out and treated with Stickles glitter glue before mounting on more foam pads. The paper was edged with Distress ink and then mounted on a dark blue card matt with dots of yellow Posca pen.

The matts were then applied to the card base to finish.....

Sprout a Smile Card

 

Made a quick card using Spellbinder dies cut through my Sizzix machine in orange, a plain white card and a piece of 6 x 6 inch printed paper.

The sentiment was stamped in sepia Versafine and some edging added with alcohol marker with a touch of glitter glue.  The fern and flower were mounted on foam pads. Simples !

Friends for Life

Another card for you today and it is again on a Kraft card base.  The 6 inch papers used this time are from the Mellow collection by Basic Grey.  I started by cutting a base mat and applied this to the card with double sided adhesive. Next I diecut a tag through the Big Shot and cut a strip of matching paper the same width as the base mat.  This strip was then matted again on some maroon paper.  This mat was then decorated with faux stitches applied with a black marker and embellished with a Kraft tab and a paper flower, some crushed olive Distress Stickles and a self adhesive word sticker.  The decorated strip was then applied at the base of the card.

The tag  was edged with fired brick Distress Ink and again edged with faux stitches before adding a small double bow of plain jute string through a hole made in the tag with a pokey tool.  This was then applied as shown.

The main stamp used is by Lost Coast Designs and was stamped on white card with Memento tuxedo black ink.  The little guys were coloured with Copic Markers before trimming out.  The image was then mounted on foam pads and stuck in place.

 

 

 

Finishing touch was to colour a piece of twiggy chipboard with the maroon paper, trim off excess with a craft knife, add some dots of crushed olive Distress Stickles.
