Beach Babe Card

Good Afternoon Crafters

just finished this card using the topper i coloured

with my spectrum noir pens

i had no idea what to use as embellishment  to go with my topper

so

i cut out a surf board  shape added the lines with my pens on a scrap piece of Neenah and backed it onto some core-dination card  for matting and layering

the flower gems were originally green….. so out came my spectrum noir pens

they are now orange gems !!!

the backing paper is printed onto centrua pearl paper

i had to use orange gingham ribbon my spotty ribbon is in hiding !

but i think it works ok

thank you for popping by this afternoon

WOW Wednesday Already

Goodness me this week is flying

i have been so busy i think i will meet myself coming back lol 

sorry for late post

it’s that sweet penguin again bouncing in to say HI!!!

from new Nigel May  stamps

this time coloured in with distressing pens and ink pads from Tim Holts

i really have had fun with this little fellow  wanted to try out the distressing pens

im quite pleased with how he turned out

that is the beauty of rubber stamping you have so much choice what medium you can used

i stamped him onto water colour paper

I used the sentiment stamp to make a backing paper 

then used a snow flake stamp from my stash then distressed the edges matted and layered onto some core-dination card

from crafters companion 

with a few snow flake buttons and crystal gems

the pen and ink pad colours i used are

black soot- weathered wood- peeled paint- spiced marmalade

so do give it a try it’s great fun

have a great day
