Snarky Day Drinker Pirate Card

It's summer and time to hit the water if you're able. Toni here serving as your captain today. 

I stamped and colored up J. Sparrow using Copics. I had originally planned to just use the Makes You a Pirate sentiment, but it seemed lonely on the card front. I love clean and simple, but sometimes a card calls for a bit more decoration, you know? 

So, I searched my stash and found a gold-flecked parchment-like paper that went well with the Treasure Map stamp, which balanced out the image nicely.

Thanks for stopping by. I hope you have a great rest of your day! For a full list of products used and to see my other projects, just visit my blog, Frankie Helps Craft.

Thank You

 Hello, Janet here with a simple thank you card. It's a cute country scene that any gardener would love.

I started with white cardstock, using a soft brush and gold ink, and created the light brown soil. Using a soft brush and light blue ink I made the sky. I stamped the Bird House and Flowers with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink and colored it with colored pencils. Thank You is stamped with VersaFine Clair Nocturne Ink. I layered that on blue designed paper and then on to the kraft paper cardstock. I tied a thin brown string around the card.

Do you like the tropical fruit drinks with extra fruit and fun?

This image is available in two sizes, and I used the larger one.

The small one went on the envelope and on the inside of the card.

I stamped Cocktail Summer Drink and colored it.

I mounted it on a light blue cardstock.

The saying, Life's Too Short was stamped and mounted on the same blue cardstock as the image.

The image and saying were mounted on printed paper and then on plain cardstock.

Simple Funny Shark Card

Are you ready to hit the water this summer?  Maybe not so much now, huh?

I first stamped Jaws the Shark onto the card front and colored it with Copics.  Next, I  masked the shark so it would appear to be jumping out of the water after I stamped that.

But what really makes the card, is that What Doesn't Kill You sentiment, am I right?!

Thanks for stopping by.  I hope you have a great rest of your day! For a full list of products used and to see my other projects, you can visit my blog, Frankie Helps Craft.

Snarky Summer Stenciled Card

Hi, friends! Toni here with another underwater scene with summer just around the corner.

I used a stencil along with Ranger Simon Hurley Neon Lunar Paste to create the background. The luster and brightness are amazing.

I wanted to cover as little of that fab background as possible so cut out bubbles using vellum, embossing More Fingers on the largest.  I then Copic-colored and fussy cut Deeva the Octopus, nestling her among the bubbles.
