YOU ARE JAWSOME (4)

For this friendship card I used the shark from the Duh-Nuh stamp set as my focus, but I used a bunch of other Lawn Fawn stamp sets: Mermaid For You, Fintastic Friends, You are Sublime and Ahoy,Matey.

For the background, I used Mermaid Lagoon Distress Ink. I added water to the background and dabbed the drops off with a cloth. I die cut the bottom with the Simple Stitched Hillsides and used Fossilized Amber and Walnut Stain Distress Inks for blending. I also added some splatter, with Walnut Stain, to this piece.

I stamped my images and colored them with Copic Markers. Here are the colors I used:

I fussy cut the images and assembled the card. I stamped the sentiment in Wild Rose Ink. I also added some highlights to some images, using a white gelly roll pen.

GIFT BOX (3)

For the card set I made, with I Love You (calyptus), I wanted to create cute gift box. I used the Gift Box die for this, from Lawn Fawn. And also the Happy Plaid stamp set from Concord & 9th.

I die cut the box from Sunflower cardstock. For the top part, I wanted to create a plaid pattern. I used the Happy Plaid stamp set from Concord & 9th. I used two Lawn Fawn Inks for stamping: Celery Stick Ink and Carrot Ink.

I used the Outside In Stitched Heart Stackables to create a window in the lid of the box. I adhered some accetate to the back.

I also wanted to add a sentiment to the lid of the box. I die cut one of the sentiments that comes with the Gift Box set, from Fake Tan cardstock.

I assembled the box, added the sentiment and put the cards inside. Ready to give this away to a friend or loved one. So they can send the cards out themselves.

YOU'RE AS SWEET AS ICE CREAM (2)

I created a very simple love themed card (or friendship card) with the cute mice from the Sweet Ice Cream set, by Waffle Flower.
