Hugs and Fishes - Aquatic Adventures Collection with Julia McNeill Designs

Hello everyone Happy Friday everyone !  I hope that you have had a great week and are looking forward to the weekend.

Today I'm here to share a cute card that I have made using one of my favourite collections by JMC Designs.  Its the Aquatic Adventures collection and its packed with lots of fishy fun. This collection will be back on the website very soon

Its an A6 card loaded with pre-coloured elements, a paper and a sentiment from the collection. I started with one of the papers and then stencilled coral over the top in green and yellow ink.  Next I used a hillside die to cut some yellow card for the sand at the bottom of the sea, blending distress ink over the edge to separate the layers.  Foam tape was used to adhere the sand.

I then added lots of fish and different coral which had been fussy cut out, some flat to the card and others on foam for depth.  The sentiment was fussy cut out and ink blended with green and blue ink before adhering this to the design.

The finishing touches were stickles around the design, glossy accents bubbles and for the fishes eyes and some extra white pen highlights

I do hope that you like my card for today and I'd love it if you'd leave me a comment. 

Hasta luego 👋 

Enjoy the rest of your day !

A Passion for Markers Blog Spot Challenge #776 - 'Include pearls / gems' - Sponsored by Lili of the Valley

Hello and a happy Tuesday to you all ! I hope that your week has started well, bit of a false start for me yesterday after eating something that didn't agree with me on Sunday, but I'm feeling more human again today.

Today I'm here to let you know that a new challenge has started over on the Passion for Markers Blog challenge.

This weeks challenge is being sponsored by Lili of the Valley and our theme of 'Include gems / pearls' this week was chosen for team 2 by Elaine... 

I chose to use a really sweet image James with Jug of Flowers, he's such a sweet bear and I wanted to create a card that was filled with spring sunshine.

This is a simple A7 5" x7" card with a pretty paper from Lili of the Valley from the Sweet Candy collection layered onto yellow cardstock.

I resized the image to suit my card blank adding a digital sentiment at the bottom of the panel over the image and then printed out onto alcohol friendly card stock before colouring with my Promarkers.

To draw the eye into the design I added a thin arch frame over the main image panel, die cut from the yellow card.

I added tiny hot pink gems around the design and pearl drops onto the flower jug.

I really hope that you have enjoyed my card today and will drop by again to see my next project and don't forget to join in with the challenge over on the Passion for Markers blog

Hasta luego 👋 

Enjoy the rest of your day !

Sending Love - New Release with Lili of the Valley (LOTV)

Hello everyone wishing you all a lovely Friday.... the best day of the week.

I'm back today with a card project for Lili of the Valley (LOTV) using one of the gorgeous  stamps from the new release of Polymer stamps which is available to order now from the Etsy shop.  There are 4 gorgeous A5 sets and you can buy in a bundle or individually.  

My card today is using stamps from the Sending Love set to create a sweet little card that would be perfect for Valentines or just to send some love.

I wanted to create an envelope style card so created an A6 Arrow fold and then used red card and patterned papers from the Funky Hearts collection to layer onto the card base.

A very simple yet effective looking card I think.

Finishing touches were some clear glossy gems around the design and glossy accents on the hearts.

Hasta luego 👋 

Enjoy the rest of your day !

Life is Sweeter - New Release - Princess of Hearts Mini collection - with Julia McNeil Designs

Hello everyone Happy Friday! 

I hope that you've had a great week and you are not suffering too much with the cold weather....it's lovely and sunny here during the day and quite hot if you are working in the sun but as soon as you are in the shade or inside the house it's blooming freezing... LOL oh well it will soon be Spring...The almond trees are already blossoming.

Today I'm back to share a sweet card for JMC Designs  that I've made using the brand new Princess of Hearts mini collection.

This fabulous new mini digi kit contains:

• 1 digi image line art & pre coloured

• 2 ephemera sheets line art & pre coloured

• 3 digi papers

It's definitely perfect for anyone that loves Alice in Wonderland or the very popular Wicked (I've still not seen it but it's on my watchlist !)

For my striking card today I've used the yummy looking fairy cake - coloured with promarkers and its also been foiled in hot pink although its quite hard to see in the photo.

I used the blank and white harlequin paper for the background with a simple offset white die cut heart splattered with metallic black watercolour paint.

Finishing touches were some black glossy drops around the design.

Don't forget to share your creations with this lovely new kit in the Facebook group JMC's Crazy Crafty Hive 

I do hope that you like my card for today and I'd love it if you'd leave me a comment.
