No Waves!

 Happy Tuesday!

This cutie called "Surfing Gabriel" from High Hopes Rubber Stamps, fits the June theme of Summer perfectly! He's catching waves and hanging ten LOL! The sentiment "No Waves" goes perfectly with this image! I tried surfing when we visited Hawaii and let me tell you it's no easy feat. I never did catch a wave or even get standing on the board. I just wasn't coordinated enough lol! Made for a good "blooper" real! Hubby on the other hand did just fine!(argggg lol).

I started my card by stamping Gabriel onto some Copic friendly paper and coloured him in using my Copic Sketch markers. Next using a MFT Stitched Tag die, I cut out the image. I chose papers from the Echo Park "I Love Summer" 6x6 collection. Using a wave die I cut out some waves and added then in layers with foam tape. I took some white craft paint and painted the tips to give it a white cap look. A few enamel dots finish off my card.

Summer Sailing!

 Ahoy!

Today's card is perfect for the Summer June theme over at High Hopes Rubber Stamps. I am using "Andy and Patch", "Summer Sail Boat" and the sentiment called "Ahoy". Sailing is a summer sport here where I live. It's so peaceful watching the sailboats gracefully glide across the water. 

I'm using papers today from the Doodlebug "Bar-b-cute" 6x6 collection. I stamped the images onto Copic friendly paper and coloured them in to match the papers. I cut the main image out with a MFT Stitched Square die. The Sailboats are cut out using my Brother Cut N scan. Some ribbon and a few enamel dots finish off my card design.

Here you can see that I popped up the MFT "peek-a-boo Trio" die cut with some foam tape as well as the boats for added dimension. A bit of glitter pen was added to the sun's but it's hard to see in the picture.

Copics Used:

Skin: E02, E21, E95

Hair: E23, E25

Outfit: B26, B28, B29/ R25, R29/ T0, T1

Puppy: T0, T1, T6, T8, T9, R32

Sky: B0000, B000, B00, B01

Happy Father's Day!

Happy Tuesday!

At our Cottage, there are lots of people with boats that tow their family and friends behind them. "Tubing Bob" from High Hopes Rubber Stamps reminds me of the fun you can have on the water. It is so fun to watch the kids having fun, yells of joy and the odd splash overturn. It makes me feel young to watch them and brings back memories of my childhood at the Cottage. Since this weekend is Father's Day, I thought the HH sentiment "Happy Father's Day" was perfect for this card!

I started my card by picking papers from the Echo Park's Summer Party 6x6 collection. After stamping the image onto Copic friendly paper, I coloured the image in to match using my Copic Sketch markers.  I used a CDD Inside Scallop Square die to cut out the image, and the scalloped frame. Next I decided to use a Wink of Stella glitter pen to add some glimmer to the waves and water droplets. A few enamel dots finish off my card!

Copics Used:

Skin: E00, E21, E95, R20

Hair: C6, C8, C9

Trunks: BG53, BG57, BG49/ white gel pen polka dots

Tube: YG03, YG13, YG17, YG23

Water: BG000, BG01, BG02

Picnic Time!

 Hello!

The June theme over at High Hopes Rubber Stamps  this month is Summer! Nothing says summer more than a picnic!  I haven't been on a picnic for a very long time, but I am going to remedy that this summer for sure! Looks like "Ant's Picnic"  is having some fun!

I cut the coloured image out using a Gina Marie Double Roped square die and popped it up with some foam tape for added dimension. The "Picnic Time" sentiment and some enamel dots finish off my card.
