Stampin Up Fishing card

This card was made for a co-worker who loves to fish. I first stamped the fishing lures on the card in crumb cake for a background, then I took glossy white cardstock and added ink and alcohol on a sponge to add the marbled effect on top of that I stamped the fishing stamp using black stazon ink. I matted that on a piece of yellow cardstock that had the lures stamped in gold and then matted onto a piece of old olive cardstock. The sentiment was stamped on yellow cardstock with the lures stamped in gold on the background and punched out with the word window punch and layered on the modern label punch and brads were placed at both ends. All stamps are from Stampin Up.

Thanks for looking.

Stay tuned, I will have a Halloween series coming up with a few Halloween ideas running through my mind.

License Plate family sign

This sign was made for a dear friend of mine.  All pieces were stamped with the License plate stamp I found on clearance from Micheals and cut out. I glimmered all the pieces with my homemade glimmer mist.  In the first picture the fishing pole was cut using the cricut and I embossed the pole handle with a cuttlebug folder.  The fish and fishing lure background are from a Stampin Up set. In the second picture the flower was done using Accent Essentials cricut cartridge and the Tim Holtz flower technique, a placed a clay rose center in the middle of the flower. The music stamp is a background stamp from Stampendous (love this stamp).  In the third picture the panda is an Inkadinkadoo stamp and the tummy was flocked, the bamboo background is from Stampin Up. I attached the pieces to chipboard and covered the back with DSP.  I strung all pieces together with swivel barrels from the fishing dept. at my local store. The letters are from a Heidi Swapp stamp set.  I am very pleased at the way this sign has turned out. Thanks for looking.
