Surf's Up

Hello and welcome!  Today I've got more inspiration to share from Scrappy Tails Crafts Tropical Bliss release.  So many great products absolutely perfect for summer cards.

For my card I used six different products from the Tropical Bliss release.  If you want to check those goodies out first head HERE.

First I cut out many surfboards using the Tropical Bliss paper pad and dies from the Tiki Hut Surf Shop add-on set.

Next I grabbed the Aztec stencil, some lime green ink and a blending brush.  I used a slightly darker green ink to add a bunch of splatters.

I cut a navy piece of cardstock and got out the Zig Zag stencil.  I used a gold pigment ink to lightly add detail to the navy cardstock with an ink dauber.  Then I glued all of the surfboard pieces to the panel.  

Once they were all in place, I cut off everything that hung past the edges.  Then I splattered it all with diluted gold acrylic paint.

Next I cut a few leaves using the Tropical Leaves Assortment dies from lime and navy cardstock.  On the navy leaves I added a generous amount of shimmer with the Nuvo Glitter Gloss pen.  While those pieces dried I cut out the Aloha sentiment in gold foil cardstock from the A7 Aloha Tropical Leaves cover die.  There is also a shadow layer die included in the set and I cut it from heavy vellum. 

I used a liquid glue to add the gold letters to the vellum.  I played around with the placement of the tropical leaves and glued in place.  On top of that I added the Aloha sentiment.

As always, thanks for visiting!

Sweet Hugs

Hello again!  I'm continuing on with the Valentine's Day themed cards.  Today's card features the Sweet Treats and Sweet Bear sets from Scrappy Tails Crafts.  Lets dive right in!

Now, let me walk you through a quick tutorial.  First I stamped the heart shaped cake pop all over a panel of Neenah Solar White cardtock using a Copic safe black ink.

Then I added color with Copic markers.  I used R59, R39 and R35 to color around the cake pops.  I used T5, T3 and T1 on the shadow spaces on the sides of the cake pops.  

To add some texture to the red areas, I used a cloth scrap with colorless blender refill.  I just randomly dabbed over the red areas.

I also colored in the sprinkles with R32.  I took some large letter dies and cut out the word "hug" from the colored panel.  I also cut it out three times from black cardstock.  I glued all of the letters together.  I put the colored panel on a white card base and added the letters back in.  I added a layer of Nuvo Aqua shimmer pen to the letters.

I covered up the letters and splattered the panel with silver acrylic paint.  Then I carefully added Glossy Accents over the letters.

Once everything was dry I added a small sentiment.  I stamped "love you" from the Sweet Bear set with Versamark ink onto black cardstock.  I sprinkled it with silver embossing powder and melted it with my heat tool.  A little liquid glue and adhered it to the panel.  And we're all done!

As always, thanks SO much for stopping by!
