Sending you Sunshine!

  

Hello Everyone. Hope you had a great weekend and found some time to be creative. I have been having fun with these new masculine images from DRS Designs.. My card today features the new silhouette fishermen that I paired with the Sending you Sunshine greeting.

I started with some Water color CS, stamped the silhouette fishermen with Versafine black ink and heat embossed with clear EP. I used some post it tape to mark off the sky area and sponged on some blue DO inks for the water, then I moved the tape and used a Gina K stencil to sponge on the sunshine. After I removed the stencil I lightly sponged over the entire sky to block out any white areas. The greeting was stamped and heat embossed, then die cut with a MFT banner die. Some clear gems were added to complete the look.

I don't really like fishing, but I think I'd enjoy being in that boat right now!

Thanks for stopping by.

Racking Up another Birthday!

  

Happy Monday once again. I have another billiard's birthday card to share with you. I started with a green piece of CS and sponged some Rustic Wilderness around the edges working my way in to make the center area lighter. I was hoping it would look like the green felt on a pool table. Not so sure I accomplished that look, but it's close. Next I stamped the Billiard Balls in the four corners using the same Rustic Wilderness ink. The Racking Up another Birthday greeting wa stamped with black ink and die cut with a MFT banner die. The Pool Cue, Ball and Rack image was stamped onto white CS, colored with Copics, fussy cut and glued into the center of the card. This was an easy card to create and you could customize the pool cue and ball for the recipient. I like images that you can personalize.

Thanks for stopping by today.

Best Fishes

  Have you been enjoying the new fishing and billiard images from DRS Designs? They are awesome images and make the cutest cards - perfect for masculine birthday cards and father's day cards.

My card today features the new Best Fishes greeting.

I paired the new greeting with the Big Mouth Bass image. I don't know why but I always think of Dr Suess when I see this image and colored him the way I thought he might look in a Dr Suess book. I started with some Water color CS, stamped the images with Versafine Black ink and heat embossed with some clear EP. After coloring the images I used some Elmer's Rubber Cement glue as a mask and sponged on the water using a couple of DO blue inks. I used a water brush to remove some of the color from the bubbles instead of coloring them and trying to add the rubber cement as a mask on them. I cut the panel down and added a die cut frame. Inside it says Happy Birthday but it could have said Happy Father's day. I think that would be cute too.

Thanks for stopping by today.

Chalking Up another Birthday!

 Happy Monday Everyone! Can you believe it is already May?! Time certainly seems to be flying by quicker and quicker. I have a masculine birthday card today that features some of the new Billiard images. These are really fun to work with!

I started by stamping and coloring the new Billiard Balls image with Copics. After die cutting 
 and layering the image onto black CS, I added some Nuvo Crystal Glaze to the balls. The picture doesn't do it justice, they look really cool in real life. The new Billiard Birthday Greeting was stamped onto the white panel, die cut and layered onto the black card base. And the card is complete! I really like how this turned out.

I must thank fellow team mate, Robin for sharing the correct color scheme for these balls. I knew they were specific colors, and found the colors when I googled it, but it didn't tell me which colors went with which numbers. Not a lot of help there Google!

You can check out these two images and all the other new images from DRS Designs here.

Thanks for stopping by today.
