I had a few minutes to hang out in the crafty cave and created two clean and simple cards. The first one I stamped (Hampton Art/Graphic45) on watercolor paper with VersaFine Onyx Black. Next I used Spectrum Noir Aqua markers with water and a brush to apply color. The word die cut was done with my Silhouette Cameo (#29892 Ahoy Matey by Jennifer Wambach) and black cardstock. I felt it still needed a "little" something and went through by stash of charms. I thought the mermaid was a nice finishing touch. :) I'm linking this one up at:
I'm still seeing dragonflies and wanted to do one more card with them. I stenciled a gray cardstock panel with gray ink and stamped a sentiment at the bottom. The dragonfly die cuts were done with my Silhouette Cameo (#125537) and white cardstock. I used a punch by EK Success to do the pink cardstock flower (embossed with a Sizzix polka dot embossing folder). For a little bling, I used small pink self-adhesive rhinestones. Easy peasy card but I was pleased with how it turned out. :) This one is joining:
I have started watching Outlander on Netflix. I've never read the book but thought I would give the series a "lookie." :) Of course I think I talk with a Scottish "brogue" now ;) Hope your day has been going well and thanks for visiting. Remember to stay crafty and wear a kilt. :)
