Let's Have a Drink

Hi there.  I hope everyone is enjoying their Friday.  My husband is home today so we have been just chillin'.  I did manage to get some craft time in and now a few minutes to blog.

The card I have for y'all used a cute image from online.  It was one of those freebies I got when I first started with the digis.  I used my colored pencils to color it in and then applied Glossy Accents to the glass.  The drink in the glass is a Blue Raspberry Daiquiri..at least that's what I think it is..

I printed out the image on Neenah white card stock before coloring it in.  I trimmed it down and matted in on a piece of light blue (Colorbok) and a panel of silver card stock (DCWV).  The DPs are from ATD that I found at Tuesday Morning for $1.99.  I just love that store.  I used my Fiskars scallop border punch for the light blue card stock strip.  Adding a piece of lime and some green gems finished off this cutie.

Thanks for dropping in to take a peek.  Have a wonderful Friday.  God bless y'all.

Welcome to my blog today.  I hope you enjoy what you see.

The card I have for y'all today uses a set of stamps from The Stamp Man called Aspects of Design 2-Nautical.  This is the first set of stamps I have used by this designer and they leave a really crisp impression.

I don't do alot of manly cards, so sometimes I have a hard time deciding what to do, but not this time.  I knew I had the perfect stamp set for a manly card.

I began with a vanilla card stock base from Colorbok. The base measures 6" x 6".  I added a DP panel from Colorbok and a strip of DP from DCWV My Guy pack.  I stamped the images on GP White card stock  with Memento Espresso Truffle and inked them heavily with DI Vintage Photo.  I matted them onto Chocolate Chip card stock from SU.  I die cut an Olive Green (SU) circle and cut off the bottom portion of it and adhered it over top of the other elements.  I cut out the ship after coloring it with ShinHan Art marker CG 0.5 Cool Grey, Copic YR27 Tuscan Orange and Chromatix Apricot 3.  The sentiment is from Fiskars Make a Wish set and is stamped with Versafine Onyx Black.  I added three green buttons from my stash to the patterned strip to finish off the card.

Thanks for looking at my creation.  God Bless y'all.

It's me again..hehe  I have another card.  This one uses a freebie from Paper Crafting World.

Isn't this a fun card?  I love that image.  I used Spectrum Noir pens and a Sakura Glitter Pen to add color and sparkle. I also inked the edges with DI Vintage Photo. The card base is 5.5x5.5 and used Gina K heavy base weight white.  I added two different  DPs from DCWV Glam Girl pack  in an alternating pattern to form the back ground.  I matted the image and sentiment on a Hot Pink from Colorbok.  The elements I added in the upper right corner are all from my stash.  

I like the fun look of this card.  I hope you do too.  Have a great day and thanks again for stopping in.  God bless y'all.
