Random Cards and Sketch
Good Evening Everyone! I was able to squeeze some time to make two cards! Whoohoo! It's been awhile since I made 2 cards in one day. I used to be stamp happy up until a few months ago but I've slowed down quite a bit. I'm lucky if I stamp a card in a day.
This was a quick card to make because all the images were already colored and cut out. I had stamped quite a few of the "Doodle This" flower a while back and I had a whole bunch waiting to be used. The rest of the images are scrapbook embellishments so this card was a snap to make.
Card Detail:
Stamp: Doodle This
Ink: Cool Caribbean with Lumiere
Paper: K&Co Designer paper, Ballet Blue, Summer Sun, DCWV Textured cardstock
Accesories: K&Co Chipboard Alphabet, K&Co stickers, American Craft Elements Ribbon, Fiskar "Cloud" Scissors
I like how this card turned out. I was a bit stumped as to what to do with the fishy. . .I didn't have a sentiment to match a fish image so I printed the sentiment from my computer. Hey, sometimes you need to improvise.
I recently bought this bubble looking CB embossing folder and decided to use it. I love this embossing folder. It looks so cool.
I colored the fish using prismacolor pencil with Gamsol. I sort of mixed several colors to give the fish a multi colored effect. You can't see it but the fish is glittery. . .I added Stickles to the fins. In person, it looks pretty nice. I cut the scallop circle using my Craft Robo and to top off the card, I attached a swirl clip and ribbon.
Card Detail:
Stamp: Fishy Friends
Ink: Prismacolor Pencils with Gamsol
Paper: Tempting Turquoise, Summer Fun, DCWV Scrapbook paper,
Accesories: Craft Robo (scalloped circles), Swirl Clip from Office Depot, American Craft Element ribbon

Just had to stop by to tell you how much I enjoy your cards & your sketches. This fishie card is nothing short of OUTSTANDING, AMAZING, and over-the-top CUTE. I'm totally in awe...truly one of the nicest cards I've ever seen:) Thanks for sharing your work.
What gorgeous cards, Maria. That first one is a knock-me-down one. I love the background, the tab, and the colours. Very unique putting the letter over the flower. Great work!
Great cards.... Love all the dimension... The fishy card is so cute... Love the greeting... TFS!
Both of these cards are awesome! I knew there was a reason for nominating you ;0) TFS
Oh I love this! It's so bright & cheery. Great job on coloring the fish and the sentiment is perfect. I also love the "Bubbles" embossing folder, it's perfect for water themed cards. Ida
