Beachy Birthday

I love pinks and grays together and these Shells really look natural on this Gray Granite card stock.  I stamped in Gray Granite and then colored with Pink and Nude Blends and then some Wink of Stella.
Sand was stamped along the bottom and a I love the FONT in this Happy Birthday Sentiment.

I popped the entire panel up over a Subtle Embossed Petal Pink card base.  Love this texture for a Background on this simple card.

More Beach

This Sea Horse deserved to be a focal point on this card!  Love how easy it is to add color to this Seaside Spray new In Color paper!  I stamped in Momento Black and then colored with Blends.  Wink of Stella adds the shimmer.

I made the Beachy Background by stamping the Sand Dollar in Seaside Spray ink and the sand in Crumb Cake ink.  Cut out the Sea Horse with the Stitched Rectangles.

Coaster Re-stock

I had to wait for these Coasters to come back in stock so I could get busy and make some new designs.  Love this Beach theme on not so perfect coasters.  The texture adds to the real beach look.
Lots of coloring on these tiles and a Soft Sky blends adds the pale blue to the background.

Lots of these tiles have texture and prohibit stamping a very large image.  But these are perfect for a Sea Life background!  Shells and Coral colored with Blends.

Here is a close up of the Sea Horse with some Wink of Stella for some shine.

I added some Coral to the corner and added a light wash of Blue to the background.  I will have these today at the Uptown Market.  Come see me and grab some Fruit and Veggies from the vendors!! 7am-1pm.

Butterflies..............

One of my BEST sellers at the Market has been these Pop can Butterflies!  So glad I hung on to the ruled Die that cuts these beauties! 

My friends Amy and Mel shared some LaCroix flavored water cans with me last week.  WOW these cans are meant to be recycled as Butterflies!  Soon these will be fluttering at new homes!

I have plenty of retired Buttons that coordinate with these colors and look at this Arizona Green tea can!  Come to the Independence Uptown Market and get yours this Saturday 7am-1pm.

Beachy Thanks

I LOVE this stamp set!!  I have another Shell set that I have hung onto for years, but this Seahorse and Line Art really caught my eye.  Seaside Spray makes a perfect card base and Random stamping makes a great Background!

I used Soft Suede, Terracotta Tile, Petal Pink and Seaside Spray inks with some Wink of Stella for shine on the Sand Dollars.

Added some sand to the Sentiment and cut out with a Stitched Rectangle Framelit.  These Framelits are a MUST HAVE!!  Added some Copper trim for texture.

Grab your inks and make a Background!  Endless color combos and your Sentiment POPS off the card!
