FOR AN OLD FISHERMAN


The Saturday challenge at the Outlawz is to create your own background which is what I did here:

white cardstock
fish diecuts
spritzed/misted over rubbing alcohol mixed with some food coolouring

I removed the fish, waited for the cs to dry, and then printed the sentiment,


I love the look of the background.
As embellishment I added a button/twine  combo.

PREPARING FOR CHRISTMAS 2015 #3

I have committed to participating in a couple of Christmas fairs in 2015, so will need to start building up stocks, so this is my third card:



This cute image is from the Bugaboo Stamps store, called Winter Birds on a Limb,
 is coloured using alcohol markers, a white gel pen and Stickles


I kept this card CAS, and quite flat, as the purchaser might want to mail it.

Thanks for visiting today.

HERE'S TO ANOTHER CHANCE TO GET IT RIGHT IN 2015


My card was created by digitally layering various elements:


png image of a popping champagne bottle, party popper, and a bunting border

Stickles made it all sparkly.

(and yes, it is an actual card as it was printed onto cardstock!)

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

CAS - FIREWORKS


To create my sparkly CAS card I used a free image of fireworks, printed it on CS, and added Stickles.

The sentiment was printed underneath and the strip of sparkly tape was embellished with gems.


HAPPY NEW YEAR TO YOU!
