Enjoy the Waves

Hi friends! Today I'm popping in with a card featuring EZ Wonder Die #3 and Linh's Mermaid EZ Postage Printable: MerMay and Summer and EZ Sentiments Summer/MerMay Printable.

I just love how quick and easy cards are with these products.  I used the EZ Guide for the postage grid, then cut the purple mats from one of the background papers in the Cute Dragons EZ Postage printable.  I added a bit of Copic marker highlights to the mermaid tail, bringing out some more of the pink and purple tones.  The sentiments are one sentiment from the EZ Sentiments Summer/MerMay printable, hand trimmed into two pieces to add to different sections of the grid.  I finished off with a few holeless and flat dolphin sequins and a white card base.

Thanks so much for stopping by today! I hope you have a fantastic day!

Colorful Life

Hi friends! Have you had a chance to check out the fabulous new July goodies from Not 2 Shabby? This month's box theme is tropical and I'm just loving all of these gorgeous products.  For today, I have a quick little card I created with the Birds of Paradise paper pad and one of the stamp sets in the July Box of the Month. If you like to watch the process, I do have a quick video for you below or on my YouTube channel.

I absolutely love this beautiful hibiscus image, so stamped it out in Versafine ink and then colored with Zig Clean Color Real Brush markers and a waterbrush. I cut it with my Scan 'n Cut and while I was at it cut a black mat with a .08" border to add some contrast.  I did the same with the sentiment, using a pencil to connect any letters that weren't connected.

Once things were cut out, I laid down my stamp over the stamped image to use as a mask, then splattered ink from the markers I used to color for a splashy background.  I tied in the black with a black mat around the Birds in Paradise print, then added to a skinny stripe patterned paper from the same pad.  Sparkly enamel dots add the perfect finishing touch.

Thanks so much for stopping by today! I hope you have a wonderful day!
