Handmade Background #12

Hello! Welcome to my blog. I am sharing another handmade background card today. July 4th is almost here so this background reminded me of all the fun fireworks celebrations. I am thankful for all the men and women who serve and haved served in the military to keep our country free!



For the background I used the Astro Star Dots stamp by Judikins, stamped it and then continued to stamp it in a circle a few times without reinking it. You can see light shadows around each stamp. Stamping this way fills in the white areas more. I stamped the city by Just For Fun at the bottom.

Thanks so much for stopping by. Have a wonderful day!

Bright Birthday Wishes

Hi and welcome to my blog. I want to share a birthday card I made using this sweet bird from Dina Wakley - my favorite bird stamp!

I followed the color challenge over at My Favorite Things blog.





For the background I splatted oxide inks with a paint brush. I used the Bubble Daisey Border die from Memory Box and added it to the bottom of the card. The saying is from Creek Bank Creations.

Thanks so much for stopping by. Have a great day!

Handmade Background #11

Hi and welcome to my blog. I have another handmade background to show you from my stash. I have looked at this background for awhile and it reminded me of the sea.


Stamp:  Kissy Fish - Close To My Heart
Saying - Our Daily Bread Designs
Stencil:  Bubbles - Tim Holtz
Watercolor Crayons: Lyra

I made this background by scribbling purple, blue and green watercolor crayons onto a stencil and then spritzing the colored stencil with water. I turned the stencil over and laid it on watercolor paper and pressed lightly on the stencil. When I pulled off the stencil there was a neat watery looking design.

The fish was stamped using oxide ink, fussy cut and pop dotted to the card.

I made this birthday card with hubby in mind. His birthday is coming up and he loves deep sea fishing.

Thanks so much for taking the time to stop by. I hope you have a blessed day!

I had fun making the background for this card. I have been trying to use up the many backgrounds that I have in my stash. On this one I opened bottles of ink sprays and took the cap that had the long tube attached and ran it in a circle over watercolor paper that had been spritz a little with water. This little mousie has been painting himself in circles! LOL!
