Seas the Day

 Hello Friends,

Today I am sharing a card I made for Amy Tsuruta's Woodblock Wednesday Challenge for August.

Here is my card:

Ingredients:

Stampin' Up Fishy Friends stamps

Waffle Flower Nesting Postages dies

Whimsy Stamps Sprinkles Scallops dies

Stampin' Up Soft Waves embossing Folder

Newton's Nook Tranquil Tides stamps

White paper

Aqua Blue paper

Black Ink

Copic Markers

Salty Ocean Distress Ink

Salvaged Patina Distress Oxide

Foam Squares

For this card I started out by stamping the Stampin' Up Starfish and Seahorse with Black ink onto White paper and colored in the images with Copic Markers.  I cut out the images with Waffle Flower Nesting Postages dies.  I took another piece of White paper and the Stampin' UP Soft Waves Embossing Folder and some Salty Ocean Distress Ink and rubbed that on the inside of the embossing folder, inserted the White paper and ran it through my Big Shot.  I than took Salvaged Patina Distress Oxide and rubbed that over the top of the paper.  I took a Aqua Blue piece of paper and the Whimsy Stamps Sprinkles Scallops Die and cut it out and added it to the Green Card base.  I added the embossed paper to the card and than the Starfish and Seahorse postage stamps to the card.  I took the Newton's Nook Tranquiol Tides sentiment and stamped that with Black Ink onto White paper and cut that out with the Waffle Flower Nesting Postage die and added that to the card.  I added foam squares to the backs of the postage stamps to give the card more dimension.

I am entering this card into Amy Tsuruta's Woodblock Wednesday August Challenge.

Tea Break

 Hello Friends!

Today I am sharing this sweet Tea card that I made for July's Woodblock Wednesday Challenge by Amy Tsuruta @craftee1

Here is a close up of just my card:

For this A2 card I started by stamping the Tea stamp from Stampin Up called Gentle Thoughts.  I colored the image in with Copic markers and mounted it on some White paper that I had embossed.  I took a piece of Lemoncraft Pink Paper and mounted that on a White Card Base.  I took the colored image and added that to the card.   I love this card because it reminds me of the Tea Parties I had with my daughters when they were younger.  I hope you like it too!
