Shells and Fishes

Another Sunday night.  Trying to get this card finished before the night is over.  I went with fish and shells.  I could use this for a masculine card. 

So this is my card for Freshly Made Sketches #681.

I wanted a sentiment with the word "Shell" in it.  This one is from Lawn Fawn called "How you Bean? Seashell Add-On".  The Clam Shell die is by KaiserCraft and the fish are part of a die set called "Fish Family" by Paper Rose.

Easter Flowers

Happy Sunday!

It's rainy here in Hartford, but I won't let it stop me from being creative. 😊

Here is my take on Freshly Made Sketches #680.

A Little Sunshine

 Playing along with Splitcoaststampers today.  I had to search my stash for some octagon dies and I ended up finding some among the Spotlight Frames die set by Waffle Flower. This is Splitcoaststampers Sketch #1055.

Easter Duckie

 Playing along with Freshly Made Sketches #679.

This image is a stamp by Whipper Snapper that I colored a while back called Eleanor's Easter.  

I wanted an Easter image and I came across this in my stash.  I think he is pretty cute.

The paper I used is from Pinkfresh Studio & Honey Bee Stamps.

Wildflowers

 Here is my take on Freshly Made Sketches #678.  For the cutout portion I used a die by Sizzix called "Splat".  And that is exactly what it looks like!  The flowers are made with dies by Picket Fence Studios called "Layering Flora: Tall Wildflowers".

I created the background with two different stencils: "Make A Splash" by Echo Park and "River Rock" by Honey Bee Stamps.

Colorful Easter Eggs

 

I came across this sketch challenge blog last month called Try A Sketch On Tuesday and this is my first time posting to it.  This was a very interesting sketch and I don't particularly like landscape cards. I had to think of something that would work for me.  I thought of flowers or feathers.  Doilies too came to mind.  But then I said to myself, Easter is coming.  How about Easter eggs!

So I used the die set by Honey Bee Stamps called "Build-An-Egg".  I colored them with some various Catherine Pooler inks.  Added the "Happy Easter" sentiment by Echo Park and a few enamel dots.

The background paper is "Hoppy Easter" by Violet Studio Designs.

Pretty Dandelion

Here's another sketch from Freshly Made Sketches that I will most likely be using quite a lot.  Sketch #677.  I used another paper pad that I've had for quite a while by Authentique called "Latest & Greatest".  The die is called Dandelion Stem by Memory Box.                                                               

 I stamped and die cut a With Sympathy sentiment by Waffle Flower. I also added some Mercury Glass Stickles to the dandelion to make it stand out a little.  I like the way it came out. 😄
