A Colourful Open Sea

Hello all. 

As I type this, I have a Jessie cat sat on both my arms lol! I think she wants my attention!

I have a card here using The Open Sea again as I had a ship already stamped that I needed to use up. I was on Google looking for some inspiration when I came across this card, fell in love with the colours and decided to have a go myself...

I used my new sponge daubers to create the background of the boat...not at striking as Lulu's, but I like it nonetheless.

I stamped other images randomly over the Not Quite Navy card blank and also on the Natural Trim Ribbon. I used Mini Brads to create a porthole effect on my oval frame which I cut out using Oval Framelits.

Supplies

Cardstock - Not Quite Navy, River Rock

Ribbon etc - Linen Thread

Stamps - The Open Sea, Teeny Tiny Sentiments

Ink - Island Indigo, Perfect Pumpkin, Daffodil Delight, Poppy Parade

Framelits - Ovals Collection

Other - Mini Brads

Happiest Birthday Wishes!

Helloooo!

How has your Wednesday been? I decided, in my infinite wisdom, that it would be a great idea to move my craft room around! Ooops! Maybe not the best idea ever lol! Anyhow...I did it!

Halfway through...thought I was never going to get through this lot!

But I did, and this was how I thought I wanted it...

...until I sat down to make a card! Didn't like my laptop behind me, so this is how it is now...

I have made a card this evening, and it felt right, so I might leave it like this I think, and just invest in a new, slightly slimmer table for the left. But this is great for now, and hasn't cost anything!

Anyway, now for the card I managed to make after all the moving!

I have used Crumb Cake ink for all the stamping, and finished with a piece of Midnight Muse Stitched Satin  ribbon and a Mini Brad.

The sentiment is Happiest Birthday Wishes Hostess set and the tags are from the Hearts a Flutter set. 

Supplies

Cardstock - Whisper White

Stamps - Happiest Birthday Wishes (Hostess), Hearts a Flutter

Ink - Crumb Cake

Ribbon - Midnight Muse Stitched Satin 

Other - Mini Brad
