Shell-Ebrate with Mermaids

Hi everyone, Gabriela here today with a card I made using the Anchors Aweigh Collection and a stamp I really love. I decided to make a mermaid themed card using the shell pattern from the Anchors Aweigh papers. I started with my stamp and then colored it in using my Copics.

Then I traced, colored and cut out my shell.

Then I used some of my chalking inks and a blender pen to color the top inside of the card.

I decided that I wanted to make the card a pop-up, so I attached some paper to both sides of the "shell" and attached the mermaid.

I added some glitter with my Wink of Stella pen in Clear.

Then I added some iridescent bubbles and did a little more blending on the inside.

Here is the final product.

I had a blast making this card and getting into this month's challenge! I hope you all do too!

Tulle Shaker Mermaid Cards

So I have been working on the Daily Marker 30 Day challenge and I have spent about 5 days on these, but I am so happy with the result. 

All boxed up. 

I started by stamping all of my mermaids and coloring them, and then fussy cut them all.

A school of mermaids. 

Then I did some distress ink backgrounds to resemble water and then sewed tulle around the edge to make shaker pockets.

I sewed circles on to make pockets. 

Then I used my We R Memory Keepers DIY Confetti Punch to make "Bubbles" out of glitter paper and trimmed down the tulle.

Almost done. 

Finally I sewed up the tops and attached them to A2 sized note cards. 

Done. 

I boxed them up with envelopes to complete the set and shipped them to a friend. 

I hope you try some new ways to make shaker cards and you have the chance to send someone happy mail! Happy crafting! 

The Daily Marker 30 Day - Day 3

So I am really trying to keep up with this! I designed this card for one of my friends who does ballet workouts! I came up with the drawing, fussy cut it and then did a watercolor background. 

Making my drawing. 

Marker outline. 

First layers of color. 

Almost done. 

Finished. 

I used foam tape on my fit chick and cut a craft dowel down to make the barre. I have a post for Quick Quotes coming up soon and after that I will be reviewing the Zig Clean Color 48 pack. Thanks for stopping by, happy crafting! 

Be a Peacock!

So I have been participating in the #sisterswithheartinart challenge on IG, and every week there's a new prompt, this week was  "Peacock", so I took it all the way. I started by drawing on black card stock.

I used Prismacolor pencils. 

Then I colored the body in and cut out the outline. 

Just the body, but I left the bottom connected. 

Then I got my bag of feathers. 

Might be messy... 

Then arranged them behind the body. 

First feather. 

Then I attached it all to a distress inked background. I also hand lettered the quote and mounted it on glitter paper. 

So many feathers! 

This did take a while, but It was really fun, next post will be my first post for Quick Quotes! Happy crafting!
