Sea You Soon! Good Bye to the Drive by Crafts Design Team...

Hello Friends Waleska here from craftinglovew with my last post on the Drive by Crafts Design Team.  Time definetely flies when you are having fun!!! I loved my time on this team and sharing with you my ideas!!! For my last card of course I wanted to create a scene with some of my favorite Lawn Fawn sets from all time, some old and some new!! This long card is very colorful and shows lots of different characters and must haves if you are like me and enjoy making cute cards.

CARD DETAILS:

I started with the card base which is a letter size sheet fold in half, I cut 2 inches so it can fit inside a long business envelope.  I cut different sizes of water waves and colored them with oxide inks in colors: Faded Jeans, Peacoack Feathers, Mermaid Lagoon and Salty Ocean.  For the little island I used Kraft Cardstock, I splashed all the waves with water for a realistic water look. 

For the sky I used Squeezed Lemonade and Carved Pumpking Oxide Inks.  I planned my scene from top to bottom, my inspiration was an image I found of the ocean with lots and lots of little fishes.  I started stamping and coloring all the characters I wanted to use and placing them on the card without adhering them.  I build this big scene little by little and I tried to use kind of the same colors for a harmonic feel.

After I knew exactly where I wanted all my images I started adhering them to my card, with glue and some with 3D foam.  I used a white gel pen to draw attention to some parts of the images and some glitter glue for sparkle.  I finally stamped the sentiment with black ink.

I hope I inspire you to mix and match some of your stamp sets with this card!!!! I had the best time on the Drive by Crafts Team, I learned a lot and made some great friends!!! Take care and thank you so much for all your kindness during my time as a DT Member!!! 

Keep on Crafting!!!

Love,

BE-YOU-TIFUL Mermaids/ Ellen Hutson Mix it Up Challenge

Hello Cardmakers out there! I want to share with you a BE-YOU-TIFUL Mermaid card for the Ellen Hutson Mix it Up Challenge with Lawn Fawn. 

CARD DETAILS:

For this card I started with the background I used Oxide Inks in colors Cracked Pistachio, Broken China and Faded Jeans, I have to say this colors are perfect for Ocean backgrounds.  I added Versamark ink and Ranger Holographic Embossing Powder to the hole background.

It looks very beautiful, after that I die cut the Ellen Hutson Be-You-Tiful word die six times to have a raised look, and color all the mermaids in the same color combination for the border I used the Gina Marie Designs Wonky Stitched Rectangle Dies.

I love the sparkling look of this card so I added more sparkle to the hair, top and tail with the Ranger Bullet embossing ink pen.

I hope you enjoyed my card today and can give this idea a try of making a very sparkling card! I think there is never to much sparkle in a card hahaha!

Duh Nuh... Let´s Party

Hello Friends It is Monday... my kids are in school again... and I miss them.... yes.... but, I am so happy I have time again to create! I made this card for the current Lawnfawnatics Challenge #8 Summertime Fun! I made a very funny little scene that reminds me to the Finding Nemo movie... with the big Sharks and the small fishes! What can be  more fun on Summer than a Party!!!

CARD DETAILS: 

I used Oxide inks in colors Broken China and Faded Jeans to create the ocean color. I used a Stencil I made with the Silhouette Cameo for the waves and create the effect by spraying water to the stencil... It looks awesome when dries! I added Nuvo Crystal Drops-Morning Dew to create bubbles the little fish is from the Fintastic Friends stamp set and the party hats, presets and cake are from Party Animal stamp set! I looove Lawn Fawn Stamps, I would never stop saying how much I appreciate a company that makes stamps that coordinate so well you can use them for many occasions and you can mix and match! They are absolutely my obsession! 

I hope you have a great day!

Nautical Cards

Hello Friends!! I have been very Nautical this days with the

new Sunny Studio Stamps release with lots of Pirates,

Mermaids and Sea animals! Today I wanted to share a set

of 3 cards I made inspired on a card I made for my sweet 

daughter Leah and of course I needed to make one for my

boy Ian too.... if not I get in trouble!!!

All this cards are 7.5 x 4.25 inches.

For the first card I used the Pirate Pals stamp set with the word

AHOY that I cut with my Silhouette Cameo, my idea was to 

create a little scene inside the "O", for the background I did 

some dark blue stripes... I added the sentiment

 "You Are a Treasure". (This was for my boy)

For my next card I used the Magical Mermaids and I wanted to 

create the feel of  the mermaids peeking on the Ship windows... 

for more details on this card you can visit the 

Butterfly Reflections Ink Blog

where I show how to create the woodgrain background.

For my last card I wanted to create a night scene with the 

Pirate Pals on the beach, I created the background with

Oxide inks in colors Faded Jeans and Broken China.

This set was so much fun to make!

I have to admit that I love this new Sunny Studio release!

Hugs,

Waleska
