Roll'n to your Birthday

Hi there,

Today is Quirky Crafts Challenge 9 - Let's go on a Quirky Journey (Traveling/Transportation)
I did a CAS (clean and simple) card. I know right??? I needed to do something quick and simple, so did this with maybe 20 minutes, I also made my own sentiment and cut it into a banner popped up with popup adhesives. I also did the background with water coloring doing streaks so it looks like he is riding his skateboard fast.
Using Distress markers on the whole image. I really like how it turned out.

Here is my card -

Vintage Sunset Silhouette

Good Day All,

I know it's been a while since I posted but if you have read pasts posts you all know I am in the middle of moving. What an ordeal this has been, it's been like a roller coaster. So we have about two weeks left till May 1st, and I finally found a house. YEAH!!!! So the move is on....packing up the house and of course cleaning things out. Getting rid of tons of stuff, I thought about having a garage sale but then I wouldn't have time here and would have to move the stuff over to the new house and what's the point. right? So I am taking it down to the Goodwill.

Today my Guest Designer card for Quirky Crafts Mid Post Challenge #8 Blooming Quirky has something I usually don't do. But I've been really wanting to try this since I was inspired by a bunch of different uses of water coloring videos I've been watching. I don't use many silhouette images so I hope you all like my card.

Here is my card:

Using Crackbox Palace - SeaBreeze Silhouette

 Used TH Distressed inks for watercoloring the background. 

I wanted to create a sunset type scene that I've seen in photos. 

It had pinks, blues and yellows, I love this type of sunset, it's so beautiful. 

Since this is my first time I used a variety of colors

to create the look. I thought for my first time it turned out okay. 

Supplies:

Stamp - Crackbox Palace - SeaBreeze Silhouette
Paper- DCWV - The Primrose Collection
Inks- TH Distressed inks - spun sugar, victorian velvet, faded jeans, stormy sky, scattered straw, mustard seed,
Accessories - Used stickles - frosted lace, corner dazzles, flowers from stash, pearls from stash. Spellbinders Die - Devine Floral

Let's Go Fishing

Good Day All,

I hope you all are having a good start to your week. Today at Crafty Sentiments Designs we are having a New Challenge - For A Man so this is a good time to start those early Father's Day cards or Happy Birthday Cards for the lovely men your your life. :D  

I chose Let's Fish stamp from Crafty Sentiments Store for my man card. It's the first time I think I've combined so many stamps in one card, plus got to use my NEW Cricut Explore. :D  This is such a cute stamp. I absolutely love it, reminds me of my hubby when we would go fishing he would be so excited if he caught one.

Here is my card -

I think it turned out cute. 

I did water coloring on my image with Tim Holtz Distress Markers. 

Water was water-colored with Gelato's and used Copics for my

water waves and splash I drew for the fish. 

I like how the his hat and clothing turned out

cause they look worn out. Something guys would wear for fishing.
