Water You Up To?

Published by Michele Boyer at 10:00 am under Cornish Heritage Farms, My Designs

Happy Thursday! :) Another quick post for me as I’m just about to run out the door for another eye appointment. I’m not looking forward to it as every time I enter that office, the receptionist runs out with her ammunition (dilating drops) and then I can’t see up close for hours. (That means I clean my house instead of stamp. What fun is that?)

Water you up to?

Today’s challengeat SCS is to use stripes. I found some wavy striped paper to use for my undersea background and paired it with Kim’s little striped seahorse. I’m fairly certain that in real life they are not blue and brown striped, but in my world, today, they are.

The little seahorse and clam shell are raised on pop dots and I added a dot of clear 3-d gel pen to the seahorse’s eye. I think the card is a bit plain with all that white space and no other doo-dads, but it’s “very mailable.” (That’s a plus, right?)

I’m out the door! Have a great day and thanks for stopping by!

Stamps: Cornish Heritage Farms “Ocean Friends” (Kim Hughes Collection) Ink: Tsukineko Memento Tuxedo Black Cardstock: Prism White (base), Simply Smooth White Patterned Paper: Creative Imaginations Accessories: Copic markers, clear 3-d gelly roll pen, pop dots.

I love the card! Reminds me that I would rather be at the beach right now. Cute sentiment too, and I love the colors.

This is just too cute! I love the little sea creatures! I actually have this set but haven’t worked up the energy to cut out all those tiny little critters!
