- The Greeting Farm ~ Happy to Sea You… Again!

  Hello crafty friends! Crystal here with another couple of cards using the Happy to Sea You stamp set by The Greeting Farm. I just adore this set and had to ink it up again!
  
  For my cards today, I went with a non-traditional fold. The base of the card is an A2 size measuring at 5-1/2″ x 4-1/4″ but the fold is actually the circle where the focal image is placed.
  
  The base is simple with just white card stock with a layer of Watercolor Wishes paper by Lawn Fawn that I die cut with the Wonky Stitched Rectangle STAX Die-namics by My Favorite Things. I then die cut a piece of white card stock that I had scored and folded with the Wonky Stitched Circle STAX Die-namics, also by My Favorite Things. I ran it through my Big Shot a few times to get a really good cut through both layers of the folded card stock. I adhered the circle folded piece to the base and then stamped the sentiments.
  
  Then I started stamping and coloring all the images… I stamped the images with Memento tuxedo black ink and colored with the following Copic markers:
  
  Whale ~ BG10, BG23
  
  Coral ~ R12, R22
  
  Seaweed ~ YG01, YG23
  
  Jellyfish ~ RV63, RV66, Colorless Blender
  
  Clam ~ BV000, BV00, BV13, RV63, RV66, RV91
  
  Sand ~ E33, E55
  
  I adhered the fussy cut images to build my scenes… popping up the whale and the jellyfish. To finish off my cards for today I added some drops of the beautiful Fairy Wings Nuvo Dream Drops in the sand at the bottom of the scene… I think it looks like pretty pearls in the sand. So fun!
  
  I just adore this sweet set… if you’d like to see the other cards I made using this set, you can see them here —> Happy to Sea You cards.
  
  Thank you so much for checking out my blog post!
  
  See ya next time.
  
  Inky Hugs,

  Hello crafty friends!
  
  Crystal here with two fun cards using the adorable Happy to Sea You set by The Greeting Farm and I’ve paired it with the beautiful Watercolor Wishes paper by Lawn Fawn!!
  
  I love how easy it is to make a card using these beautiful papers for your background! They are so beautiful and all I needed to do was run them through the Big Shot with a fun die to create my background. For the cards I’m sharing today, I used the Stitched Circle Plate Background die by Gina Marie Designs. I die cut it four times… twice for the two patterned papers and then with white card stock and kraft card stock.
  
  Once I had that done, I set it aside and stamped my sea creatures… oh my goodness… this set of sea creatures just might be my favorite!! The turtle… love! And that seahorse… adore!! I sure had a blast coloring all the images!!
  
  I used the following Copic markers to color the images:
  
  Turtle ~ G12, G24, G28, BG10, BG23
  
  Whale ~ B21, B23, B26, T1
  
  Clam ~ RV63, RV91, N0, N1, N3, R00
  
  Seahorse ~ G12, G24, YG01
  
  Jellyfish ~ RV91, V04, V12
  
  Octopus ~ V04, BV000, BV00, BV04, BV13
  
  Starfish ~ YR15, YR16, R12
  
  Shark ~ N0, N1, N3
  
  Seaweed ~ YG01, YG23
  
  Coral ~ R12, R22
  
  Once I had them all colored, I fussy cut them out as close to the black line as possible and then colored the edges with my Memento tuxedo black marker. That’s a great way to make the edges look nice and clean. And then the fun part of building my scenes… so fun! On both cards, I wanted a creature to look like he was swimming through the circle so I used the whale on my first card and the shark on the second. I think it gives dimension to the card even though all the layers are adhered together. Yup… you read that right. I didn’t pop up any of the images!! Lol!
  
  But I did pop up the sentiments!!! I just love how these turned out! I hope I’ve inspired you to create a fun scene using pretty papers and cute stamps! Both items I’ve featured today are in stock in the SFL shop!!
  
  Thanks so much for taking the time to check out my blog!
  
  See ya next time.
  
  Inky Hugs,

  Good Evening…what a day! This day certainly did not go like I wanted it to go…so I am finally getting my post up and then tomorrow is another day! Thank goodness for new beginnings each day.
  
  I was very pleased with how this card turned out with all the difficulties getting it all put together.
  
  I used Lawn Fawn “You are Sublime” stamp and created a cute little underwater scene. I colored the images with Copic markers…I need to take lessons from Crystal and take notes on my color combos but that will have to be another day. I also used some distress oxide inks for the ink blending on the white panel. I used a sprayer to get some distress ink splatters on the paper…hope you enjoy the card…make sure you check out the store and see. what you might find!
  
  Supplies Used: You are Sublime Stamp by Lawn Fawn
  Distress Oxide Inks
  Anchors Aweigh 6×6 Paper Pad by Doodlebug Designs for that added little color behind the main panel.
  
  Thanks for joining me today!
  
  Crafty Hugs, Teresa

- Picket Fence ~ Be a Unicorn of the Sea

  Hey there crafty friends!
  
  Crystal here with a couple super fun cards to share today using the fabulous Be a Unicorn of the Sea stamp set by Picket Fence. Oh my goodness… this is an adorable set!!
  
  I paired this fabulous set with the beautiful Watercolor Wishes paper by Lawn Fawn. I stamped the schools of fish and bubbles directly on the Watercolor Wishes paper using Tumbled Glass Distress Oxide ink and Powder Blue ink by Gina K. Designs. I adhered that to another layer from the paper pad and then I set it aside.
  
  I stamped several of the narwhals and started coloring… I wanted my narwhals to have some pink-purple so I started by coloring them with the V000 Copic marker. I then added some grays to the narwhals using C00, C2, and C3.
  
  I fussy cut the narwhals and adhered them to my panels… popping up one of the narwhals for dimension. Once I had my panels done, I set them on the white card base so I could decide where to put the sentiment. Using my stamp platform I positioned the sentiment just so and was able to remove the panel and then stamp without worrying about getting extra ink on my panel. For my first card, I stamped the sentiment with Tumbled Glass Distress Oxide ink and then just barely inked up the bottom portion of the sentiment with the Powder Blue ink and stamped it again.
  
  I love the effect it gives to the sentiment!
  
  For my second card, I did all the same steps except I turned my card base and made my panel slightly larger to fit the card. For the sentiment on this one, I just used Tumbled Glass Distress Oxide ink.
  
  To finish off both of my cards I added drops of the gorgeous Nuvo Dream Drops Fairy Wings. Oh my goodness the color of these drops is seriously dreamy! Love them!!
