Picket Fence Studios Mermaid Dear Card

 Playing with Picket Fence Studios' Mermaid Dear stamp. I stamped with my MISTI and colored with Copics after fussy cutting the fish away. I wanted it to be about her in the sea. The die of the circle is from my stash, and the word die as well. The background was ink blended with 3 Distress Oxides, Tumbled Glass, Mermaid Lagoon, and Pistachio. Love the water drops to add to the affect. I made this for a special person and they truly loved it! Enjoy!

Lavina Fairy Tag

 After attending a fabulous class at Scraporium with Betty's Creative Studio (another store's make and take) that allowed me to "play" with all of the fabulous Lavina stamps like this one called, Mae Fairy. The ink blending was done previous to stamping, and then many smaller stamps layered in. The white Posca pen was used to add light to her wings! The end touch was a spray of gold to add iridescence.

Echo Park Fourth of July Layout

SCRAP WITH STACY'S July 2025 TIC TAC TOE CHALLENGE:

Rochelle Spears' July 2025 Sketch Challenge!

I used Echo Park Celebrate America Collection with all of its Red, White and Blue colors and fun fireworks graphics matched with gingham and stars pattern papers. For Technique, I used 2 stencils for the fireworks on the Bazzill Bling Diamond cardstock, with Christmas Red, Silver and Tim Holtz Distress stormy sky stickles. The bling and shine is iridescent and I love the look. The American Crafts Sparkle red cardstock was fussy cut around the "Fourth of July" sticker to bring more shine, as well. The tags have ribbon attached with the Tim Holtz tiny attacher stapler so 3 tags, and 3 staples. Journaling written on the tags: "We enjoyed the holiday with Bratwurst, broccoli salad, roasted brussel sprouts with bacon and watermelon. Fireworks were on our lake and enjoyed by the whole family. It was a wonderful relaxing family day, together!"

I used the Center Vertical column for Stacy's Tic Tac Toe: Metal (Staples where I attached the ribbon on each tag), Tags, Word Sticker (Title)

Please Enjoy!
