FUN IN THE SUN WITH BELLA POOL SIDE FROM FAERY INK

Hello everyone and Happy Sunday!   Summer is my favorite time of year, but it always goes so fast.  Our summer has been awesome, we've had family visit, we have visited family and the kids have been busier than ever.  Hope you are all having a great month!

 

Today I am sharing some inspiration on the Faery Ink Blog.   For this month's inspiration project, I chose Bella Pool Side Digital stamp as the image I wanted to create with.  This stunning image can be found in the Faery Ink Shop.  As always, Amanda's images from Faery Ink Shop are super fun to color - always so many options and often great scenery included in the image.

This time around, I found this awesome Silhouette cut file that I felt lent itself perfectly to the Bella Pool Side Digital stamp.  For the project, I chose Doodlebug  papers for the pool water and the border around the base of the project and then some design paper from my stash for the sand.  Flowers are from Petaloo, sentiment is from a clear stamp and cut out with die from my stash.

Image is colored with Copics.

Time for a Lemonade Stand with Imagine That! Digistamp

Hi everyone!  Hope you are all doing great.  Things continue to be super busy here and I am not on the computer as much as I was a year ago, but I am still having a wonderful time coloring and creating cards/projects. 

 

I am here to share a card I made using 2 images and one of the sentiments from Kimmie's Lemonade Stand set that you can find at Imagine That! Digistamp Shop.   Both images I used from the set are colored with Copics and cut out with my Cameo.   Sentiment is also cut out with my Cameo and then added to a die cut.  I chose to make a center step card as I thought this layout best showcases the images.  I added some bling and glittery buttons from my stash.  The paper from Bo Bunny is from a set called Lemonade.

For my card this week, I chose

digital image Seeking Inspiration

from The Paper Shelter Shop, I colored her with Copics and cut out using the Print and Cut feature on my Cameo.

This image is amazing and such fun to color!   I added a wooden floor that I drew in to ground the image.  I created a little box and a card that goes around and on top of the box.  I added a sentiment from Your Next Stamp to the easel in the image.  I hope you like how it looks.

 

 

When you open the card, the inside is the “Happy Birthday” song – lyrics and music.

 

 

When you pull out the drawer, it reveals the inside of the box.  Since the image is of an artist, I thought it would be cute to put Twinkling H20s paints or some other little containers of paint inside for the gift.  I also added brads from We R Memory Keepers and ribbon from Really Reasonable Ribbon to the drawer.  My design paper is from Echo Park.

 

 

I sure hope you like it and will come play along!!  Hugs
