Fishy Friends Card for Ranger

Some people would say that my brain is wired differently. Guess what? I'm ok with that! Sometimes you get an idea and you just need to roll with the "thinking outside the box" mentality, know what I mean? I'm turning flowers into fish, with this project for Ranger Ink that features lots of Wendy Vecchi products. Scroll down for some brief thoughts.

When I was going through some of my stamp sets, I took one look at the Country Flowers set and thought, "hmmm....I spy fish!".  I hope you'll stop by the Ranger Ink Projects page where I'll show you how to turn flowers into fish!

Thanks so much for popping in today. I would love to know your thoughts on the tutorial! Have a great day!  Terri

Sand and Sea Card

Hey friends, today I'm popping in to share this no-line colored scene, featuring the By The Sea stamp set from Sweet N Sassy Stamps. Last month, we headed to Tybee Island and I had the pleasure of visiting the brick and mortar store for SNSS, The Stamper's Boutique. I also met owner Korin Sutherland who is an absolute sweetheart! Needless to say, I was totally inspired by my surroundings, and this is one of the stamp sets I picked up while I was there.

Next time, I will probably go a little darker on my adirondack chair, so there's more distinction from the sandy beach. My image is one entire stamp (except for the sky) which was stamped using my Misti stamp positioner and Inkon3 fadeout ink, which I then colored in with Copic markers.

For my waves, I used a blue/green Copic marker (BG13) to outline the wave marks from the stamp, then blended out my color (using other blue/green markers), leaving some white space and enhancing the waves with a white gel pen. I do not consider myself an expert, coloring scenes. In fact, this was a total experiment that thankfully worked out, for the most part, haha!

You'll notice I used my gel pen on the chair and sand as well. It's one of my most used pens when cardmaking. I also took liberties with the sand, adding darker blending to create a "sandy hillside" effect. Again, just experimenting but I love how it looks. Once I colored in my scene, I used a cloud stencil and worked around my images, stenciling with Aquatini ink from Catherine Pooler Ink. The colors are so lush and The Stamper's Boutique has an extensive line of CP inks in their shop.  Bonus!



I really didn't want to add anything else to my scene, so I stamped a sentiment on the inside of my card and called it a day. Thanks so much for stopping by and if you'd like to do some shopping, I have convenient affiliate links below.  Have a great day!

Americana Ice Cream Card

America's birthday is upon us and I'm so happy to share this fun take on celebrating the 4th of July.  This mini-slimline card features stamps from Colorado Craft Company. Patriotic celebrations and ice cream go hand in hand, right?


(FTC Disclosure: as an affiliate for various companies in the craft industry, I will receive a small commission for purchases made through my convenient affiliate links, at no additional cost to you.)



 
This ice cream stamp set is from the Big & Bold collection and is perfect for so many occasions. If you don't already have this in your stash, it's a must have!  I colored this up with my Copic Markers and drew in stripes and colored those as well. Then, I added paint splatters and a sentiment. It totally puts me in the mood for the upcoming holiday celebrations! I hope you love it as much as I do!






Thanks so much for stopping by. Happy 4th of July!  Terri
