Scenic Coast - Happy Anniversary

 

Sunset Coast Bundle + Scenic Coast Specialty DSP

This card was my submission for a team swap that was themed "Celebrations".   The new Sunset Coast bundle and Scenic Coast Specialty Paper make creating a card.... a breeze!  Everything about this set is simply gorgeous and inspiring!

The detailed view really show how special this designer series paper is.  That iridescent shimmer on the water is just gorgeous!  I used an exacto knife to make a few simple cuts to extract the sailboat from a bigger die.  Sail boat, Seagulls, sentiment and sequins to the card front.... and voila!  A beautiful card!

Natural Artistry - Seahorses

Natural Artistry + Fern & Flora Dies + Greenery Lane Stamp Set + Banner Sayings Bundle

 This card was created for the Crafty Collaborations Monochromatic Insta Hop.  The featured color was Misty Moonlight.  To show off Misty Moonlight I used the Classic Stampin' Pad, Blending Brushes and the Two Tone cardstock.  

Natural Artistry + Fern & Flora Dies + Greenery Lane Stamp Set + Banner Sayings Bundle

There are no coordinating dies for the Natural Artistry Stamp Set, so I chose to fussy cut the seahorses.... 3 pieces.... 2 on the front and one inside. 

To create the underwater scene, I used the blending brush to add ink darker on the bottom of the card front and lighter at the top.  I then used a variety of stamps and foliage die cuts to create the underwater scene to place the Seahorse in.

The look on Johns face was absolutely worth every minute that I put into this card!  Creating customized cards for the people I love, gives me so much pleasure.  I made this card to give John for our wedding anniversary and I wanted to share with you. This is a mash up of several different products. All products are from Stampin' Up!

Detail View

I love the personal detail I was able to add, using actual photos of John and I, to the film strips both on the front and inside the card.  To scale the photos down to the right size, I "inserted" photos into a word document and was then able to scale it down to fit the film strips.
