Toucan Birthday

Hi everyone,

Today's card is created with a Recollections stamp set. The base card is a ready made card also from Recollections. I colored the toucan using stampin up markers. The hibiscus was stamped and cut our with a circle punch. The foliage leaves are from the botanical dies from stampin up. I am not sure what stamp the sentiment came from as I have so many that I forgot what set its from.  I also added a few orange sequins. I decided it needed some stitching around the front of the card to finish it off. I will enter this card into

Hi everyone,

I Have another card to show you from the darling doggies set from Deedee's Digis. This is one adorable set.  The card base is recollections kraft cs. This card was printed onto neenah cs. I also used two of the paw prints backgrounds in the blue and red. I wanted it to like like the dog was sittimg on a rug. I changed the font color on the sentiment and used copic markers Y21 to darken the dog. I added a border with black marker and faux stitching across the top of the rug.  This adorable card will be wonderful for any occasion. Deedees cards are so much fun to create with. I will enter this card into these challenges.

Seahorse Dreams

Hi everyone,

It is my turn to share with you on She's A Sassy Lady blog. Thanks for having me Shelia. My name is Carol and my blog is here Happy Expressions. I started off thinking I would make a shaker card and it changed as I went along. My card base is SU soft sky cs. The polka dot layer is we are memory keepers wedding stack DSP. I had some white .25 white trim tape and decided it would make a cute border. The sky blue layer is 4x5.5. I used SU retired polka dot background using soft sky ink to add the background. I then added Inkadinkado mason jars largest stamp in the set. The seahorses are from the SU set called by the tide. I coloured them with watercolors. The weed is also from by the tide. The bubbles and bottom rocks were added using copic marker BG 10,13,15. It still didn't look quite right so I took a black marker and filled in around the white tape. I marked off half way on both top and sides to add faux stitching. I added the sequins and then printed off some coloring book shells. Watercoloured them and and fussy cut them out. I found this small stamp dream unknown and stamped it with stazon ink and die cut with the big shot and SU bitty banners die. It finally looked finished and I was happy with the result.

I will enter this card into these challenges.
