HELLO!!
Who's been ENJOYING SHARK WEEK!!?? We've been LOVING it!! So I thought what better way to CELEBRATE than by making a Card with Newton's Nook Designs featuring their AWESOME Shark Bites Stamp Set  and the coordinating Shark Bites Die Set!!
Here's a look at the Layered Scene Card I Created!!  =)

 

First, I wanted to Create a Layered Scene Card!! If you KNOW me you KNOW I LOVE LOVE LOVE to Create Layered Scene Cards and I had such a FUN Time making this one!! I Started by Stamping and Embossing my Shark Image onto some Distress Watercolor Paper!! Then I used a New NND Sea Borders Die Set to Create the Ocean Background!! I wanted to have an Underwater Scene so I used Distress Inks to Create my Ocean Background!! I Stamped the School of Fish Image using Chipped Sapphire and Peacock Feathers Distress Ink stamped ontop of one another then I covered them with Clearsnaps Clear Embossing Powder!! I used Distress Oxide Vintage Photo and Walnut Stain to create the Sandy Ocean floor Stamping some of the details in Walnut Stain Distress Oxide Ink!! I used the NND Tranquil Tides Stamp Set and the Coordinating NND Tranquil Tides Dies Set to Stamp and Emboss SEVERAL of the Images to Create my Under Water Scene!! I just LOVE LOVE LOVE how well these Stamp Sets work together!! =) I Splattered some Water onto my Inked Background for some Texture and added some Tonic Studios Aqua Sparkle Pen Spaltters to make the Ocean Shimmer!! SQUEAL!! I just LOVE how it turned out and hope it INSPIRES you to create a Card for Shark Week!!

I'm also playing along with the


Inky Paws Challenge #51 Tropical Theme


Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge: On the Edge

I was Inspired by the Colors in the Photo!! I LOVED the Mix of Turquoise, Peach/Coral, Khaki, Gray and  White!!

I couldn't just Create One Card so I have a Couple to share today!! First, I wanted to Create an Interactive Card!! If you KNOW me you KNOW I LOVE LOVE LOVE to Create Interactive Cards and I had such a FUN Time making this one!! I Started by Stamping and Embossing my Shark Image onto some Distress Watercolor Paper!! Then I used a Lil' Inker Designs Die Set to Create the Ocean Background!! I wanted to have an Underwater Scene so I used Distress Inks to Create my Ocean Background making the bottom Darker and  Lighter towards the Top!! I Stamped the School of Fish Image using the same Chipped Sapphire Distress Ink and then I used the NND Tranquil Tides Stamp Set and the Coordinating NND Tranquil Tides Dies Set to Stamp and Emboss SEVERAL of the Images to Create my Under Water Scene!! I just LOVE LOVE LOVE how well these Stamp Sets work together!! =) I Splattered some Water onto my Inked Background for some Texture and then I took the Interactive Slider Die to make my Slider Channel!! SQUEAL!! I just LOVE how the Shark can Swim Up and Down and Spin ALL Around in the Under Water Scene I've Created for Him!!  =)

 For my Second Card I wanted to use the FUN "Hope Your Day Doesn't BITE" Sentiment from the Shark Bites Stamp Set along with the Jumping Shark Image and then I Die Cut it using the Coordinating Shark Bites Die Set!! It ALWAYS makes me SMILE!! So I KNEW I needed to Create a Scene to go along with it!! I decided to Stamp the SWEET Winston Image from the NND Beach Party Stamp Set, along with the Surf Board and the Sea Shell Image!! I used the Lawn Fawn Simple Stitched Hill Side Boarders Die Set for my Beach and then used the Mama Elephant Stitched Waves Die Set for my Waves!! I used Distress Inks applied to Distress Watercolor Paper to Create my Background and then added some Water Splatters for Texture!! I added some Shadowing and then Stamped the School of Fish Image using Tumbled Glass Distress Ink to make them look they are underneath the Water!! Some Clear Wink of Stella Glitter Marker was added to SEVERAL of the Images and my Ocean Waves to added some Sparkle!! I LOVE LOVE LOVE the way it turned out!! =)

Newton's Nook Designs Inky Paws #24 Sketch Challenge!! =)

Pin It


Hello!!
I'm here with the New Newton's Nook Designs Inky Paws #24 Sketch Challenge!!
I had LOTS of FUN trying to decide on a Direction for this Card!! I just LOVE the New Tranquil Tides Stamp Set and the Coordinating Tranquil Tides Dies Set so I KNEW I wanted to use them!!
  
I started by Inking the Sea Horse with Distress Inks In Abandoned Coral, Ripe Persimmon and Seedless Preserves!! Then I 'Huffed' on it and Stamped onto Distress Water Color Paper!! I added some WoW Clear Detail Embossing Powder and then I Die Cut it out using the Coordinating Die!! I Stamped the School of Fish in a Triangular Design in the Background with WPlus 9 Silver Ink and then added the Distress Ink to the Entire Background!! I used Tumbled Glass, Cracked Pistachio and Chipped Sapphire!! I LOVE the Gradient Colors!! I added the MFT Stitched Flag Banners!! I Stamped and Embossed my Sentiment on the Top Banner!! I thought a Mini Wiggly Eye added to the Sea Horse was the PERFECT Finishing touch!!?? What do you think!!??  =)  I LOVE the way it turned out!!

 THANKS SO MUCH for stopping by and I hope you'll Play Along!!?? I CAN'T WAIT to see what you create!! Have a Fabulous Week!!
