FIREFLIES

Hello everyone! I'm here today to share with you the card I made for August in StarStampz. This delightful image is called Fireflies and can be found in their Etsy shop here!

A fond memory of mine growing up was to be out in the evening with my brothers and sisters catching these wonderful little bugs and putting them into a jar and watch them all light up. No harm was done to them and they were soon released from the jar back to the grasses where found. ☺ StarStampz has a monthly challenge that you can join here! This month is challenge #49, Using your favorite color combination. (mine is orange and yellow)

Until next time...

AN OCEAN BREEZE...

I wanted to share this beach card that I made. Living on the East Coast we really enjoy the beaches during our short summer season.

I used various Copics and Zig markers for the coloring, along with blending brushes, Sea Glass Gina K Designs ink and a white opaque marker.

The card stock is Blue Raspberry by Gina K Designs and a piece of DP from my stash for the sand. The clouds were made using Frantic Stampers Slimline Clouds Stencil (FRA-STN-015). The beautiful raised palm trees is a Frantic Stamper die called Palm Tree Edger (FRA-DIE-10457) and the sentiment and seagulls are from a clear stamp set called Ocean Lighthouse (FRA-CL-136).

Until next time...

FRIENDS

Just wanted to quickly post this card that I'd made earlier and didn't get around to posting it. I made several of these for friends and used different colored card stock for the backgrounds. They made great thinking of you cards just to keep in touch.

The die I used is called Good Friends Daisy Frame and is made by Frantic Stamper (FRA-DIE-09427).
