Soak up the Sun

Here's some NBUS products that are just perfect when you're living on a tropical island! The Picket Fence Palm trees paired with the Ellen Hutson Everything's Beachy. 

Great to get another masculine card too.

The Sea

Welcome to the new CASology Challenge. Our cue word this fortnight is WATER.

I'm using my NBUS stamp from Picket Fence called Ocean Waves.

Come and check on the creations of the design team and be inspired. Looking forward to seeing your take on the cue word.

A Mini Card Set

I was given a blank set of mini cards from a friend (2½" square).  When I opened the pack, I discovered that the cards were made with glossy paper.  A wonderful opportunity to use alcohol inks.

I cut the cards in half so I could use the front and back for my cards. I mounted them on white cards.

I then added die cuts and washi tape to the alcohol inks backgrounds, with the exception of the butterfly and seahorses, which were stamped.

I first played with mixes greens, blues and a touch of silver.

 Then I moved on to oranges and reds.

 These 2 were with reds and browns.

It's your Day

I was so taken with Cecile's card design, that I had to try to make my own version.

I love these little Picket Fence seahorses.
