Best Fishes

Here is a card I made for the color challenge on Mommy Scraps. I took her theme and "awesome" birthday sentiment and made one of my own. In addition, I had inspiration from Jeanne's front flip card she made using the D'Vine Swirl cuttlebug and fish theme. This one is a little different than the usual card I make. It took me a little out of my comfort zone, which (I guess) is a good thing.

I mainly used the following CTMH colors: breeze, ocean, orange, citrus leaf. I sponged the bottom part of the card in cocoa, chocolate and desert sand to make the bottom of the ocean or aquarium (whichever you prefer). I used the June stamp of the month, With Love, for the ocean plants, etc. I love how other CTMH consultants use this flower set for other themes. In addition, I sponged the breeze cardstock with breeze and ocean ink for the water. After using the cuttlebug folder, I highlighted some of the waves with my white gel pen. I hope you like this one!

I finished this card with eyelets and orange sassy strands. Wow! I hardly ever use eyelets any more. I had the perfect color to go with the ocean cardstock in my never-ending stash. LOL! AND I got to use my crop-a-dile. YAY!


Happy Stamping!

Tutorial Tuesday - Swing Card

Okay, I got the instructions for this swing card from SplitCoastStampers and the author of the instructions is Beate Johns. Please...please...help me with the pronouncation of her first name. I butchered her name in my tutorial and I want to be able to say it the next time I use any of her instructions. She is awesome and I want to give her total credit for what she does. Please forgive the attempt on this video.

I really liked how this card turned out. I have one of these cards that my upline made and always wanted to try to make one. It really wasn't as hard as I thought it would be. Hopefully, this video with help you create one.
