My Fresh Water Mermaid

Greetings, everyone!
Thanks for dropping by. Hope all is going well in your homes.

This week my Scrapy Land project is all about our inner Pink and Fresh Water!

Bourn Creative has this to say about pink:

It represents friendship, affection, harmony, relaxation, acceptance, contentment, 

inner peace, approachability romance, charm, playfulness, and tenderness.

"In the Pink" means being healthy.

"Tickled Pink" means being happy and content.

It is the sweet side of the color red - both represent Love.

This means I see you all in a Pink Glow

because you're the sweetest blogging buddies ever!

The Challenge this fortnight at Scrapy Land is to create 

a card using a stamped image (rubber or digi). 
To enter the challenge follow the theme and use any die brand that Scrapy Land sells.

   Pssst! Did you know...
        Scrapy Land has a new Pinterest Account! 

    

My card features the Sue Wilson Noble Die - Ornate Pierced Design CED5507 )

I love that this set has 3 pierced dies, AND that the dies can be used on the inside
of the design, or as "frames" for the outside of the design!

After the card was assembled, a Quickie Glue Pen was used on Serena the Mermaid to apply the Raspberry Soda Glitter.

Wavy blue background is Copics B0000 and B000.

SOB!

Warm Blogging Hugs,

Distressed Blue and White Christmas

Greetings, Sweet Friends! Hope this finds you doing well. So happy you could stop by.

Today I'm showing a Christmas card for the Scrapy Land ANYTHING GOES challenge, with this flat, easy-to-mail, distressed style card. The die cuts are "mix-and-match" from several Scrapy Land manufacturers. 

(Scrapy Land dies shown below with their links)

-Impression Obsession Border Duo 2 (bottom scallop border)
-Die Versions - Wee Petites “Snow Flurries” DWP-004
-Sue Wilson Gemini Collection URSA CED4402
-Sue Wilson Santa's Sleigh CED3043
-Sue Wilson Snowflake Corner, Border and Tag CED3019
-Sue Wilson Festive Collection
-Spellbinders Scallop Ovals
-Spellbinders Lg Scallop Rectangles (upper scallop borders)

Colors are monochromatic theme in blues, including the holly leaf border done in navy. The white layer is one piece with the Sue Wilson Gemini die creating a beautiful border, and the holly punch on top. Then the panel was run through the Swiss Dot embossing folder. The Sue Wilson tag has glitter on it, and is backed with a matching tag done in navy to give depth.

Although the card is A7 (5x7), the design easily could be broken in half and still look pretty!

1. Use on an A2 "small size" card (top portion).

2. Or use on a "business size" card (bottom portion).

A tiny scallop edge from Impression Obsession provides a finishing touch along the bottom.

Sparkle N Sprinkle Cloud Nine Microfine Velvet Glitter accents the distressed edges, the area around Santa's sleigh, and the 3 snow flakes.

Looking forward to seeing your entry at the Scrapy Land ANYTHING GOES challenge, for a chance to win $15 prize!
