Best Fishes in squares card

I made this card for Craft Roulette #225

Parameters

Project: A2

Colors: tea party

Element: house pet

Random: stripes 

And I thought the random was the packaging. 

No silly. That was last week.    

Anyway…this is the tea cup color inspiration 

And when you look at the two sided by side it looks weird but when you look at just the picture above it makes more sense.

            

The first thing is I used this teacup as my color palette. It’s hard to tell but I really did take the colors as my inspiration from the tea cut 

The stamps I’m using are by Lawn Fawn I colored them with Copic markers. 

Thanks for looking. HAGD! 

 

Manly Monday Surfboards with a Big Wave

I made this card for Craft Roulette #227 

Project: 4x8

 Colors: Mountain  

Element: Float(s) or floating. 

Random: Water 

I made the background when I added water to leftover distress oxide on my mat. I smooched the paper onto the mat and tada. I followed up by adding yellow distress ink in the upper right corner. For the sand, I ripped paper and inked it with distress oxide.

The wave is a Cricut cut. It’s messed up. I think the pieces got lost on my desk. I had cut out a few different waves and then got distracted by something else. Then as a try to make the wave look better I got out an old Fiskars textile plate and a stylus to put waves onto the waves. It was a fail. LoL! So to try and make the wave better I pounced on powdered chalk. Meh. 

The chair die cuts are by Gina Marie. The surfboards are stamps by A Stampers Journey. I added the arrow like pattern with a colored pencil. 

Thanks for looking. HAGD! 

Manly Monday Shark Bite card

This Deep Red Stamp sentiment makes me giggle. The seaweed stamps and mulberry paper are unknown. 

Let me ask you a question. Have you ever noticed the designs on Kleenex boxes? Some of them have better designs than patterned paper.

Well, I cut a part of a design on a Kleenex box to look like waves. I popped one up with foam squares so I had a place for my seaweed stamps. 

I made this card for Craft Roulette #226 and the parameters were:

Project-see thru (you can see through the mulberry paper.

Colors-Jungle (there’s green in the leaves)

Element-Teach(es)or teacher (sentiment says “I’ve learned…)

Random-Tangle (the waves are tangled)

Thanks for looking. HAGD!
