Can't Wait To Sea You!

Hello Blogging Friends,

It is my turn on the Dies R Us Blog today and I am sharing a fun Underwater Scene card:

For this A2 card I started with White card stock to make the base of the card.  I took a piece of Ranger Distress Watercolor card stock, my blending brushes and several Distress Oxides and blended them onto the paper and then spritzed it with water and let it dry.  I took some sand paper and ripped it with a ripping tool and inked the edges with Brown ink and added it to the bottom of the distress paper.  I inked the edges of the distress paper with some Aqua ink and added it to the card base.  I took several different shades of green ink and the  the plant dies from the  Sue Wilson Can't Wait To Sea You die set and cut out the plants and added them to the card.  I took some Bronze glitter paper and the seahorse die and cut it out twice.  I used a Black marker to draw an eye on each of the seahorses and then I added them to the card wrapping them around the seaweed.  I took the turtle die and some Green paper and cut out the turtle, I rubbed some Brown ink on his back and added him to the card.  I took the iridescent paper and the Memory Box Octopi dies and cut them out and added them to the card.  I took the sentiment and some Blue paper and cut that out and added it to the card.  I really like how this underwater scene turned out!

Hearts

Hello Blogging Friends!!

It is my turn today on the Dies R Us Blog and I have 2 quick and easy Valentine's to share with you.

Here is my first card:

My first card is a 5" X 7"card and I started with a 5 x 7 white card base.

I took the Gray striped paper, inked the edges with Black ink and added that to the base of the card.  I took the Memory Box Open Studio Stitched Heart layers die and some different Valentine's paper and cut out the different size hearts.  I wasn't sure how I wanted to mix up the papers and the different size hearts so I played around with it until I found the look I liked and then I added the hearts to the card.   I took some Red ink and the sentiment stamp and stamped that onto the card.

My second card is 4 1/4 inch by 5 1/2 inch card and I started with White card stock to make the base of the card.  I took the cute hearts with faces paper, inked the edges with Spun Sugar distress ink  and then added that to the base of the card.  I took the largest heart from the Memory Box Stitched Heart Layers die and cut out the Red heart paper with the sentiment printed sentiment in the middle of the paper and added that to the card!  Easy peasy and I was done!  I really love these Stitched Hearts dies!
