Down by the Water/Sea

Hi Everyone this week we are sponsored by Bugaboo over at Come and Get It, and I have chosen the Turtle-Fishing Rod for my card, as the theme this week picked by Shell is Water or Sea Creatures.
I have used Promarkers to color the image, and Have used Crumb Cake, Pear Pizzazz and Marina Mist as my colors. The layout is a simple one and thought it worked great for a young boy's card. the paper in the background is from my stash and is embossed using the Square Lattice Embossing folder. Thanks for looking. Hope you have a great week.

Inspired by a Christmas Carol

This week at Holly Jolly Christmas Challenge, Meighan, is our hostess, and she has asked us to make a card inspired by a carol, I have chosen the set by Stampin up called Evergreen, which as the words to Silent Night on it. I love this set. I  have stamped it on velum in pear pizzazz, and Early Espresso, then cut out with oval and place a very vanilla oval behind, I then used designer paper from last year's Candlelight Christmas set, and cut it out using the Apothecary die. I used champagne glitter paper for the star and scallops, then finished it of with a double bow and ribbon using the vanilla seam binding. Thanks for looking

Tag It for Crafting for All Seasons

This is the tag I have made for the latest challenge at Crafting for All Seasons. I have used the stamp set Simply Sketched from Stampin Up along with the free hand butterflies from our sponsor A Day for Daisies.
The flower was color with inks and aqua brush using Calypso Coral and Crisp Cantaloupe, the leaves were done using Pear Pizzazz and Old Olive. the sponging around the flower is Pear Pizzazz, and Soft Sky. The butterflies were printed on retired paper from Stampin up. then colored with a sponge, then spritzed with vanilla smooch spritz. they are really sparkly, but the picture doesn't do them justice. Thanks for looking
