Below is my second entry for the Summer Coffee Lovers Bloghop, when I was crafting with my Mom and sister yesterday, I was telling them I'm going to create a mermaid scene for my cousin, Jana's birthday, and she'll be enjoying a Starbucks beverage, which also happens to be my cousins favorite coffee shop. My Mom and sister thought the idea was a little strange at first but encouraged me and said why not. I used the Craftin Desert Divas stamp set Magical Wishes, to make Ariel, Flounder came from the Lawn Fawn stamp set Fintastic Friends and Sebastian came from the Lawn Fawn stamp set Life is Good. The coffee cup is
from the Create A Smile stamp set Coffee First. I used Spectrum
Noirs to color the image. The
sand on the bottom of the ocean is sand paper. I made the ocean
background using Ranger Posh Impressions Rainbow Inks, Luminous
Metallics in the following colors: Violet, Blue and Teal. I hope you
enjoy. Happy Crafting!
Below is my first entry for the Summer Coffee Lovers Bloghop, I'm personally not a big coffee drinker unless, its my Starbucks® Bottled Vanilla Frappuccino® Coffee Drink or my Quick Check Pumpkin Spice Cappuccino which sadly is only around for October and November, sometimes I get lucky and they have it towards the later end of September, I digress. My sister Jess Gerstner loves her Dunkin Donuts coffee anytime anywhere, in fact when we were crafting yesterday she was mentioning when she went on her honeymoon to Las Vegas they didn't have a Dunkin Donuts to be found and she had to settle on Starbucks because she was in dire need of coffee. The card below is a tribute to my sister and her Dunkin Donuts coffee. I used the Lawn Fawn Party Animals stamp and lawn cuts. The coffee cups are from the Create A Smile stamp set Coffee First. I used Spectrum
Noirs to color the image. I hope you get to enjoy some coffee outside this summer with your family and friends. Happy Crafting!
My entry for the Inky Paws Challenge #32 - Use an Arrow! over at Newton's Nook Designs. I wanted to keep the card CAS, I wanted the image of the two dogs in love with the arrow speak for itself. The image I used was from the set Darling Duos. I used Spectrum Noirs
to color the image. I had some awesome sequins from Mint Owl Studios called Hearts and Kisses that I thought would be absolutely perfect. This card was made for my Aunt and Uncle for their wedding anniversary. Happy Crafting!
My entry for the May 2016 Monthly Challenge over at Gerda Steiner Designs. I couldn't help to create a little picnic scene with this adorable image. I used Spectrum Noirs to color the image. I had some awesome picnic blanket washi tape from Target that I thought would be absolutely perfect, the best part about the washi tape is it feels like fabric. Let's hope this weather stays beautiful for the Memorial Day weekend. Happy Crafting!
My entry for the April2016 Monthly Challenge over at Gerda
Steiner Designs. April was a rough month with my boyfriend being hospitalized, so to keep busy in the hospital I was coloring images with my Prismacolor Premier Colored Pencils, I decided I needed some more practice with them so I decided to color this months challenge image with them. The sequins are from Craftin Desert Diva inside the "Lucky" set.
