Cute Mermaid Cards

A few of us had a crafting afternoon this past Sunday.  Kathy W needed four mermaid shaker cards.  She used the Mermazing stamp set from MFT Stamps.  Kathy water-colored a piece of watercolor paper with Zig Clean Color Real Brush Watercolor pens and used that for the oval rim and shaker background.  She did make four, but the farthest one back didn't show up too well so only showing three.  The sentiment is from the Friendly Phrases stamp set by Stampendous.  This Mermazing stamp set has the cutest little mermaids!  Have a great day!

Guy Greetings

During our crafting get-together over the weekend, Kathy Z worked on her Father's Day cards.   Kathy used Stampin' Up's True Gentleman Designer Series Paper, SU's Oval Framelits and the Guy Greetings stamp set.  As always, Kathy did a fantastic job.  Have a great day and find yourself a little stampin' time!

New Best Friend

I needed a number of thank you cards and this one I made for Sydney.  The little girl and her cat image is from the My Favorite Things stamp set, New Best Friend.  On the left side I used pattern paper and on the right side I used cardstock which was scored with my scoring board.  The edges of a stitched circle framelit were sponged before adhering the circle using dimensionals.  Once the twine bow was adhered slightly under the circle, I added the orange sequins to match her dress.  The Birdie Brown stamp sets from MFT Stamps are just adorable.  Have a great day!

Boho Classic

Richard Garay was and is offering a virtual class for only $5 and is available at RGStudio360.com  This fee includes the Boho Classic digital stamp set and list of supplies needed for each card.  Also included is the link to view the virtual class.   I had everything cut up and the images printed for the class.  The class was last night and I was introduced to Gesso.  All of his cards were brushed with Gesso and once everything was dry, he used watercolors to paint the images and backgrounds.  My attempts with Gesso weren't that great, so I just colored the images with my alcohol markers.  Only one background was watercolored over Gesso.  I need to practice using Gesso and practice seeing that it is okay to go outside of the lines!  I never thought of using flowers with cars, but these cards look pretty nice!  Have a great weekend and find yourself a little stampin' time!
