Just Hang In There When I saw this sketch for some reason all I that saw was someone or something flying. Maybe I have been in self imposed quarantine with hubby for to long and it's affecting me but we are all coping well down here in Australia. Once I started it all came together quickly and this is the result. I cut the wonky frame, stamped the cat from PB Bubbly where I wanted it and another to mask it off, placed the cat mask and coloured the sky. Used a MFT cloud stencil to colour the circle with distress oxide inks in stormy sky and salty ocean. I stamp a 3rd cat on copic friendly paper, coloured it then fussy cut it out. Sponged the same blue distress inks on the frame and adhered it to a cardbase, glued the centre piece into the frame and used dimensionals to adhere the cat. Thought the sentiment was appropriate for now. Copics : Cat: E00, 01, 02, 23, 25, R20. Balloons: Go3, 09, YR04, 07, Y13, 19, B01, 05, BV01, 04, R17, 29.

Live in the Sunshine, Swim in the Sea Gina K Designs has a new website and it's lovely. While checking it out came across the monthly challenge and here is my take on it. Kept it simple with the background done in distress oxides and used a baby wipe over a wave stencil to give it some dimension. The sentiments, from By the Sea set was heat embossed with white embossing powder, added some twine, an anchor, bow and some clear dots. Adhered it to some card mats then onto a white card base and all done.

You Make Everyday Awesome Received the new Split Chevron stencil the other day and decided to have a play so I used it on the card with the colours from the challenge. Had been playing with some old flower dies and this is the result. First I white embossed the stencil on white card then sponged on my old Versacolor small cubes in Orchid, Canary, Orange and Camellia and love the way they blended. Mixed the flowers from three old sets and then cut the leaves from one of the sets. Used a Spellbinders border die to cut the embossed panel then cut another strip in dark blue to match my card base. The sentiment is from a Simon Says Stamp set called Hand Lettered Encouragement.  Loved the way I used a lot of old things I had not used for ages so maybe I need to drag more out to play with.
