I have to share the cutest card!! I used this great sketch this week from Connie and Mary  CCMC049 to come up with this fun card. I combined the Swirly Scribbles thinlit and the Bear Hugs stamp set to make this card. What I LOVE about this card is that it can be used for Father's Day, a Masculine Happy Birthday, Retirement or just a happy hello kinda card. How awesome is that?? 

Here's the Sketch from Connie and Mary:

Here's my card:



Is that pretty fun or what?? I also used a new stamp for the background called Playful Backgrounds to make all those bubbles. I stamped that with Denim Dapper on Denim Dapper for a tone on tone kind of look.



Did you notice the designer paper in the center with the waves?? That paper is one of the very cool pieces from the By The Shore Designer Series paper. Oh that paper pack is very festive and full of color and fun paper!! To make the fish I stamped them in Momento Tuxedo Black, then I used  Archival Basic Gray, Daffodil Delight and Emerald Envy ink pads to color the fish. For each color I squished the ink pad, to transfer just a little ink to the lid, then used the blender pen to just add color where I wanted it. Lastly,  I added Clear Wink of Stella to make the fish shimmer, like scales on a fish!! Wink Of Stella is like magic, it really transforms a project without overwhelming it!!  I know this picture doesn't capture the shimmer, but it looks great in real life!!  :)




I really like the colors here, reminds me of cool water on a summer day!! I hope you feel inspired!!

Thanks for stopping by!!

Here are the items I used to make this card:



Have a blessed day!
