Sea you Soon-Bombshell Style

Hi Everyone and Happy Wednesday to you all. Today is weigh in night and I'm doing fairly well so far. I'm down and that is what matters. Today I put a belt on that I haven't worn in ages. I needed it to hold up my jeans lol.

I've got a great little card to share with you today using the Bombshell Stamps set Homeward Bound and some Silver Lustre and Mica Metallics Paper Temptress paper. These two are the perfect combination. I love the glitter and glimmer that happens with this stuff..

For the Silver lustre paper, I used alcohol ink on it to give it an ocean feel. I do like how it turned out. The fish stamp is one of my favorite smaller stamps from Bombshell Stamps and I really wanted to play up the sparkle, so painted them with Shimmerz Paints.

I love how the overall card turned out. The colors are soft and subtle which really lets the sparkle shine through. Say that 5 times fast hehe. Well I'm off. I hope that you all had a great day. "Sea you Soon"

Some Crate Paper Goodness

Hello Everyone and Happy Tuesday. Last month Scrapbook Star had a fantastic kit full of Crate Paper goodness. The Season collection is really sweet and the quality of the paper is beyond amazing. I decided to do a few projects but really want to share one that makes me smile. The sentiment kind of says it all doesn't it?

I am really loving  Basic Grey alpha stickers as of late too. Never thought I'd use alpha stickers on my cards, but it has happened. These ones really make the card pop don't you think?

I took the doily and cut it up to create some great shapes. yup this was one of my favorite kits until this month happened ACKKKKKK!!!! Samantha at Scrapbook Star sure knows how to put together a beautiful Kit. I just did a tutorial over on the Scrapbook Star forum using the April kit and would love for you to stop by.
Hope you have a fantastic day.
thanks for stopping by. I sure appreciate it
