Happy Father’s Day Dad

This card was made for an upcoming Father’s Day card swap I am participating in.  I searched through my male themed stamps and decided to do a collage of stamps along with some layering, pop dotting and different textures.

The background faux stitching was done with my new toy, We R Memory Keepers Sew Stamper. The other stamps I used in making this card were by Just-Rite stamps (I would be lost...”), Hero Arts (dad) and Lasting Impressions by Panache (row boats).  No bling on this card but I did add some Magic Mesh and some Diamond Glaze for a watery effect under the boats.

Thanks for stopping by.

Nautical Theme Collage

I create this nautical theme collage card for a challenge by Fashionable Stamping Challenges (319).  You can see their challenges at:

http://fashionablestampingchallenges.cottagecrafts.ie/

It was fun going through all of my nautical rubber stamps to make the collage.  It has been a long time since I have had a lot of them out. Some of the stamps used in the collage are from Toybox, Inkadinkado, Lasting Impressions by Panache and PSX.  They are all older stamps that I had purchased many years ago.

I added some colour with my Tombow markers, distressed and alcohol inks, then I tied what I think is a nautical knot to add to the card to finish off the card.      

Thanks for stopping by.  Have a great day.

Seaside Collage

Come and Get It Challenge this week is a vacation theme.  Right away I head to my stash of rubber stamps because a vacation to me means the beach.  I have a large collection of unmounted rubber stamps with a beach type theme.  I am not sure where I purchased them all but a couple of the companies are Old Island Stamp Company and Lasting Impression by Panache.  I stamped some of the images directly on to the base water themed paper then started to layer the other images on top to create the seaside collage.  I love the sentiment on the larger image “Seaside – lazy days, playful days, sandy beaches, picking up pebbles and collecting shells.  Does that remind you of vacations when you were little?

 I was lucky to live close to the ocean while growing.  There is nothing like the seaside. Come and join the fun at Come and Get it Challenge.

Birthday Wishes

This masculine birthday card I made for a friend’s upcoming birthday this month. The row boat stamp is by a rubber stamp company called Lasting Impressions with Panache. The fish stamp is a retired PSX stamp and the sentiment stamp is from my collection of unmounted stamps. I think the combination of these stamps, the Copic colouring and layering makes a simple interesting card. Thanks for stopping by and have a creative day.
