CAS-ual Friday - A simple fishy card by Donna Gray.

Hi everyone,

It's Donna here today with a very simple card for you featuring one of my favourite fishy stamp sets at the moment :)



Isn't he just a cutie with his toothy grin?!

I stamped the fish from Fish Diet onto a piece of water colour paper and then used blue and green Jane Davenport Mermaid Markers to colour him in, using a water brush to dilute the colours.

Then using the ticket stamp from the Stitch and Frame stamp set I stamped it onto more watercolour paper and used a couple of Distress Inks to age it slightly. Both the images were fussy cut out which for the fish took a little while!

All that was left to do was add a Tim Holtz sticker sentiment and adhere the fish and ticket to the Kraft card using foam pads.

A simple card but when the image is this cute I wanted him as the star!


Stamps Used:

Stitch and Frame

Fish Diet

Hope you like it
Donna xx

Easel Card With Textured Flowers

Image
Hello.  Welcome.  Gail from the design team here today with a project using the new Textured Flowers stamps.  I loved these the moment I saw them.  Big beautiful blooms.  And many small er stamps for adding leaves and texture.   I decided to make a Twisted Easel Card.  There are many tutorials available but I used this one by Lois.  So here's my card using Textured Flowers and of course, a giraffe .......... I was inspired by the Rubber Dance challenge colours which for June are: I stamped the large simple daisy, masked and stamped two more.  I added the giraffe from African Animals .  I think I'll call her Daisy. I thought it looked a bit empty so I stamped more daisies...... and coloured with distress and d y e inks.  I stamped and embossed three of the doodled flowers and the giraffe, fussy cut and added them to my panel.  I used brads and a Cheery Lynn die cut for the flower centers.  I also doodled a little faux stitching

Rubber Dance has gained a following of stampers that love our Sarcasm Superpowers sentiment stamps. These aren't exactly our best seller stamps (not very surprisingly), but if you love them, you'll LOVE them! And this particular group of followers certainly do - not very surprisingly at all with a group name like theirs .... namely the  Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers! (I know, right? Too darn cute!) These fine ladies have bullied me and some of my designers into a blog hop featuring our Sarcasm Superpower stamps. It didn't take much persuation, nor any bribes to speak of. Just mention  "challenge", and we'll be all over you like underfed fruitflies on a brown banana. And that's what the Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers is all about - a challenge blog with new challenges every other week. Fasten your seat belts and enjoy the bumpy ride! Of course there will be a prize.... if you make it to the end. Here's what I've made for our hop:
