The Card Concept:

It's time for a new challenge at the Summer Session of the Card Concept.

'Sunset at the Shore'

The shells were my inspiration for my mixed media scripture card.

Betsy's beautiful scripture verses were first stamped, then clear embossed onto

watercolor paper. I used an acrylic stamping block with water colors to 'stamp'

my background. 

Such a meaningful Bible verse for today. Might have to do several of these!

 Have a blessed week, friends!

Supplies

PapertreyInk: Simple Seashells, Sand Swatch, (stamps and dies)

The Greetery: Comforting Commands

Windsor Newton watercolors

Altenew Inks

The Card Concept #138d {Sunset at the Shore}

The Card Concept: Summer Fun

Summer Fun is the theme at the Card Concept. 

So many nautical element for inspiration!

A whole lot of red white and blue, and lots of sand and sea inspired my Clean and Layered card.

The lantern with sea elements was recreated with PapertreyInk's Cloche Quarters

and Cloche Quarters: Summer. Pierced Oval die cut from striped and dotty paper,

and some real sand for texture. 

Just had to add an anchor embossed onto a Kraft tiny tag (Ahoy)

Hope you're inspired to try creating a card full of summer fun! 

Happy Crafting!

Happy 7th Anniversary Paper Sweeties!

Welcome to a happy celebration!

Paper Sweeties is marking their 7th year. Applause applause!

And congratulations! 

I'm so honored to join the festivities with a special card,

and a favorite of mine, featuring Abigail.

Abigail's been around since the beginning. She and all the dolls have outfits 

and settings fit for a queen, or in this case, a mermaid!

Mermaid Wishes is a new set I've fallen for. That fish tail! I just 

had to glam it up!

The shell border was stamped, Copic colored and fussy cut.

'Sea' background: Distress Oxide Ink blending, water splashed, and white paint 

splatters. 

Anniversary banner: PS Hello Friend

The bubbles 'HAPPY' and 'anniversary' sentiment from an older

set, Happy Everything.

That's right! A 100.00 gc is the big prize to a lucky follower!

All the deets on the Paper Sweeties Blog.

Good luck, and go join the fun!

Happy 7th Anniversary Paper Sweeties!

PTI July '18 Blog Hop

It's Blog Hop time at PapertreyInk, and our inspiration photo is a 

joyous splatter of salt sea pattern and a brilliant combo of unexpected color.

From the first sighting of Reef Builders I was hooked! The detailing is amazing and I LOVE each

and every die to bits!

Lots of layers and plenty of sea elements for a card going to a dear friend.

Hop along all day on the PTI blog. 

Looking forward to waves and waves of inspiration! (couldn't resist!)
