back to the drawing board

today's card features a birthday fish - he was created with a stamp & stencil combo from taylored expressions. the yellow & gray inks were applied through a stencil & his black details were then stamped. the background school of fish was also created with a stencil & couple of colors of blue ink.

today i have a card i created for the current lawn fawnatics challenge - christmas in july. i used the new lawn fawn high five kit that arrived last week & paired it with a few holiday themed stamp sets.  


copic marker coloring for the bees & honey jar - paper piecing for the tree & to finish off the honey jar. to create the sentiment banner i used sentiments from two stamp sets & carefully stamped each word before heat embossing the entire sentiment.

here is a card i put together using a bunch of leftover die cuts from one of the classes i took during the c9 summer camp virtual event. the only thing i added that didn't come with the event kit was the birds stamp.

and these are the two cards i made during the class - the top two cards. the 'hello card' was also a scraps card -  a slide show of how i put it together is below.
