Sublime Lake

I used several different stamp sets to achieve this card. The frog is from 'You're Sublime', the waterlilies and floral spray are from 'Swan Lake', the water is from 'Waterfront', and the sentiment is from 'Happy Birthday Gorgeous'.

I used a scrap piece of paper to mask the frog so I could position the waterlilies behind him and also to color in the water underneath.

Thanks for taking a look.

Supplies Used:
Stamp Sets - You're Sublime, Swan Lake, Happy Birthday Gorgeous, Waterfront
Ink - Memento, Soft Sky, Stampin' Blends (Rich Razzleberry, Daffodil Delight, Old Olive, Pool Party)
Paper - Rich Razzleberry, Old Olive, Whisper White
Accessories - scrap piece of paper for masking

 

 

Sublime Thoughts

My sister-in-law loves frogs! Well, she loves animals as she owns and maintains a farm in California. She breeds and boards horse and miniature horses as well as miniature chickens too.  She amazes me with all the work she needs to complete during the course of her days on the farm.

So, I felt this frog stamp... from the 'You're Sublime' set was perfect for her. I added the 'You Are' from the Thoughtful Banners stamp set. The flowers are from the 'Pictogram Punches' stamp set.

Thanks for hopping by!

Stamp Sets - You're Sublime, Thoughtful Banners, Pictogram Punches
Ink - Cucumber Crush, Peekaboo Peach, Memento

Sublime Sorbet

It's been a while since I participated in a blog sketch challenge, so I thought to give this one from Freshly Made Sketches a try. (FMS274).  You can find their blog here along with all the cards created with this sketch here:

Thanks Freshly Made Sketches for your inspirational sketch! Even though I chose to switch my card to landscape instead of keeping it portrait.

My sister-in-law has an RV where she has been traveling with her kids to see the 50 states. I thought the Sublime stamp set would be perfect for her. I paired the stamp set with a retired SU Designer Series Paper (DSP) -- Sweet Sorbet. 

I used an AquaPainter to color in the RV using colors within the DSP that I used.

Thanks for taking a peek!

Supplies Used:

Stamp Set - You're Sublime

Ink - Pool Party, Calypso Coral, Sahara Sand, Memento

Paper - Pool Party, Whisper White, Sweet Sorbet DSP

Snappy Day

This is a get-well card for my cousin who was involved in a hit-n-run and she broke her back. She is an amazing lovely lady... where one would be feeling sorry for herself, here she is making jokes and making the most of this awful situation. She is an inspiration to us all. She was fitted for a brace for her back, and she has lovingly referred to it as her lobster brace (it's not red, but white). So, in the same vein as a lobster.... I chose to send her a crab for her get-well card!
May she continue to recover quickly!

Thanks for taking a look!
