Lavinia Alana - Mermazing...

Hello,

Todays' card features an internal window-box into an under the sea scene. I have used a scalloped oval die on the front which is carried through to the inside as well. The beautiful mermaid on the front is Lavinia's Alana.

The wording and the images on in the inside of the card are from an unnamed stamp set that I have in my stash. The octopus and the jellyfish are cut from white card stock.

By using the same paper inside the back of the card and on the scalloped circle, the jellyfish and octopus are brought into the scene.

I had a great time creating this style card - the possibilities for themes are endless!

Have a great day!

Seas the Day - Stampin'up

 Hello

Seas the Day stamp and die sets from Stampin'up feature in these watery cards.

Deep blue patterned paper was stamped with the tall reeds using white ink and layered on to the Pool Party card base.

The die cut front panel was shaded with inks and mounted over the top. Die cut plants were tucked behind and fixed in place.

The fish, crab and starfish images were stamped and die cut then shaped and mounted in place. 

   

Diorama dies form the frame shapes for these card. Stamped and die cut images from older sets were also used.

Glossy accents were applied to eyes and to form bubbles, and gems and pebbles fixed in place. Wink of Stella was applied for sparkle.

Have a great day

Till next time

Australiana Christmas Cards

 Hello

I know these are Christmas, but by  leaving off the Santa hats and changing the sentiments, you can create cards for any occasion.

The background Bottlebrush and baubles was stamped on to white card and shaded with Distress Oxide ink. Images were coloured with Illustrator pens. Cockatoos are stamped on white card, shaded and fussy cut. The panel was layered on to foil card and on to a white card base.

Gems, glitter and glossy accents finish off the design.

The geo koala stamp and die used on this card, and the small wombats on the lower card are from Uniquely Creative.

The cockatoos and the other koalas are stamps from Kaszazz, as are the papers used.

Enjoy your crafting.

Till next time
