Stay Curious by Tracy Blackwolf

 Hello everyone! I made a card for my project today - enjoy-

I stamped the four images using memories dye ink. For the waves I used the surfer wave stamp and inked carefully to not include the surfer dude.  It makes a great splashing wave!

Next I   started to put the colors on. A combination of  spraying and using a paint brush with water. I worked to get the blending right.

I then went on to paint  the white Dr. P.H. Martin bleed proof white onto the waves. I also used A Signo white gel pen. I used a sand ink pad for the color of the beach. I felt the ocean needed more darker blue and I wanted it to blend better so I worked it until I was satisfied. Then added more bleed proof white to waves and water and rock. I dipped a toothbrush in the white and then splattered to get the right look.

Last I stamped the birds from the Banksey Hitchcock stamp, and added the stay curious sticker.

I decided a little sparkle would be a nice finish so I added that too- sadly it doesn't show up on the photos.

And that was it- oh, and I filled in the mermaid skeleton using the signo gel pen. 

Until next time!

Rose card by Cathy N

 Hello, Cathy here with a fun card for you today.

                                                                Stamps Used:

                                                              9029 rose/large

                                                              17545 grunge writing background

I stamped the rose 2 times because I was going to make it a corner rose cluster, but it just didn't look right. 

I used copic markers to color them. I cut the 1 out. Next, I took a heart stencil and stamped the grunge background with pink distress ink and then I blended with the same ink through the stencil. 

Lastly, I added a strip of gold glitter paper on the card, and I added the cutout rose to the top of that.
