Enjoy Your Day Poolside

 I continue to have fun with Catherine Poolers Designs, Take a Dip shaker die set. As it gets hotter, one of  my favorite get-aways is to my neighbor's pool!  This card showcases some of the cutest critters. These pool buddies are from Sunny Studio's Sealiously Sweet stamp set.  I used Kat Scrappiness' Blue Faux Glitter paper for the water. The polkadotted paper from an older Carta Bella pad called Sew Lovely. At last, the sentiment was pulled from Newton's Nook Designs Newton's Summer Vacation (retired) stamp set.  a Combination of 4 company's products for one sweet card!

Thanks for stopping by!

Hugs,

Debbie

Scuba-Enjoy Your Day

 

When I saw this sketch, I loved it. I decided to go with a playful scene vs. a floral one.  I also had fun making the background.  I've been using lots of pattern papers, so this was a bit of a diversion. I used several shades of blue for the different depths (Distress Oxide inks).

CIC367--Your Next Stamp

Welcome to this week's Cupcake Inspirations Challenge.  This week we are inspiring you to create Tropical-themed projects. Don't you just love those icing-covered pineapples?  

  Your Next Stamp is our amazing sponsor, who is offering a $25 gift certificate to one randomly chosen participant. Wowza!  

For my card, I pulled out one of my favorite YNS stamps--Jungle Critters. I just adore that cute, little toucan. I colored him and the tree with Spectrum Noir markers. The flower and pineapple are from Sunny Studio. To create the background scene, I sponged distress inks then die cut the oval. I added some die cut clouds, adhered all the elements. I finished up with some bright polka dotted washi tape. 

For more amazing inspiration, please check out the other Design Team Sweeties' projects!  Seriously, they are incredible!
