Mermaid Life

I have spent the last couple weeks working on Christmas gifts with the new Taylored Expressions 2017 calendar cards. Christmas already?! Yes! They are a lot of work, but they got wonderful reviews from family and friends last year so when my mom brought them home for me, I got right to work. Today I took a break from that to make a card for the Try Stampin' On Tuesday Challenge #278. The sketch had an optional theme of blue and white. The new mermaid stamp went perfectly with that theme. Here are the materials I used:

• Splash stamp by Impression Obsession
• Life is Good stamp set by Lawn Fawn
• Stitched Square diecut by My Favorite Things
• paper: Seaside collection: Journey and Oceanic sheets by Authentique 
• copics- B00, B12, B14, E00, E01, E19, YR24, YR27, Y17, R02, R11, R14, R20
• memento ink- tuxedo black and paris dusk 

Aww...Baby!

Okay this card turned out way better than I expected! It is so stinkin' precious! I definitely should've made two or three or four of these. Here are the materials I used:

• Clothesline stamp set and Clothesline die cuts by Impression Obsession 
• Grass border die by Impression Obsession
• Fence border die by Impression Obsession 
• Puffy Cloud borders by Lawn Fawn (used to make background)
• pearlescent chalk
• springtime paper pad by Authentique 
• cocoa twine
• memento ink- tuxedo black

Hoppy Easter

 I had fun merging these two challenges today! The sketches were very similar and the Fusion Challenge had a Pretty in Pink theme while the Try Stampin' on Tuesday Challenge #259 had a dreaming of spring theme. I tried to merge the themes, too. Here are the sketches that inspired it and the materials I used:

 

• Magical Spring stamp and die cut sets by Paper Smooches
• Springtime paper pack by Authentique 
• stitched square die cuts by My Favorite Things 
• copics- W00, W0, W1, W2, RV11
• glossy accents (on the nose and teeth)
