Just dropping you a line...

I've loved this adorable set from Stampendous for a while now, but have never put them to the ink pad until this card. I got a wonderful RAK from my bestee with a small dollar type stamp in it that had the sentiment "Just dropping you a line..." and I knew I had to put it with these great fishy images. The fish bowl is actually stamped once on the background and once on a transparency. Then I colored the transparency very roughly with a blue water colored Copic. On the background I stamped the castle and bubbles on the bowl image. Then the fish were stamped and cut out separately so I could toll and pop them off the background a little. Then the transparency was laid over the background to give it the "bowl" look. When I went to take a photo of it all, the transparency just wanted to reflect back at me... So, I'm not sure you can really see the effect, but trust me... it's coolio! The papers are a fun set from GCD Studio's called Canta. Fun colors and a little bit of a whimsical feel, just what I was going for.

Card for hubby

This card may not be the traditional Father's Day card, but it seemed to be fitting to give to my sweet hubby! The sentiment is soooo true... He's always there for me, rain or shine! And he's such a great dad - always taking care of us and putting his family first! I love him so.

I put a Tim Holtz stamp together with a Unity sentiment - they worked well together and although I adore the stamp that came with the Unity sentiment, it was a little too girly for this card. I think this has just the right amount of "masculinity" to it!

This one stretched me from my norm...and that's always a good thing. I fell in love with this Hero Arts cling stamp and "had had had" to have it. Then when I got these wonderful papers from Die Cuts With A View, they seemed the perfect match. I cut the frame using a new cartridge on my Cricut called Bloom, added some fun sayings from the patterned paper and it all came together.
