Birthday Fishes

Good morning all I Hope you are having a good week. Today's card was made using issue 36 of Die Cutting Essentials magazine.

I started with the background and used Alcohol Inks and a felt blender to swipe different shades of blue across glossy photo paper. I also added in a little touch of Silver Mixative, to give it a bit of shine.

Then once the panel was dry I cut a circle using a Zig Zag Stitched Circle die from MFT Stamps. 

I had a great time die-cutting loads of the sea critters, shells, starfish, and seaweed out of different scraps of card, and then basing my design on one of the ideas in the magazine, I came up with this.

Don't you just love those colours? I love playing with alcohol inks, and think the effect really suits water based themes.

Thanks for stopping by today, hope you like the card, take care and I'll see you soon.

Altered Clock

Good morning all, hope you are well and having a good week. I managed to finish my clock project at the weekend, after a little trip to the shops with Jude to purchase a boat. And I am glad to say, that my niece (who the clock was for) loved it.

 

I am rubbish at remembering to take photos of the before though. So you will just have to imagine what it looked like when it was just plain plywood. Lol. But this is how it looks now.

 

 

I love all of the little decorations on it. But I especially love Tilda climbing up to the boat. She was a late addition but I think she works well lol. The seashells came back with me from Southerness! I know it's naughty but there were only a few ;o))

 

 

 

The boat just finished the clock off nicely. Stuck on the top courtesy of my hot glue gun.

 

 

What do you think? Hope you like it too.

 

 

Thanks for stopping by again, see you soon.
