WISH

Well, here I am again with another nautical card made using the June release of Frantic Stamper!  I had a lot of fun designing this card and am really happy with how it turned out. What do you think??

 
To make my periscope card, I used the following dies and stamp from Frantic Stamper. You can find them all here  https://www.franticstamper.com/  

Steampunk Periscope (FRA-DIE-10848)
Eight Tiny Tags (FRA-DIE-10734)

I also used Mini Cloud Edges from MFT that you can also get from Frantic Stamper using the link above.  Other products used were Gina K Design Moonlit Fog card stock, various Copics, Bashful Blue and Creamy Caramel card stock from SU, adhesive foam strips, and 3 black brads. Creamy Caramel ink from SU was also used, along with a piece of DP for a background map, from my paper scrap stash. :)

I will be back again soon with another nautical card made for Frantic Stamper using the June release.

WHEN IT RAINS ON YOUR PARADE...

The April swap this month had the theme of April Showers.  Right away I thought of this image, as I love little rain boots. :)
I used a black card base and topped it with a white panel cut by using MFT's Stitched Rectangle Scallop Edge Frame Die-namics. The insert was a piece of fabulous MFT's Itsy Bitsy Polka Dots DP and then a smaller scalloped rectangle frame in black card stock before adding my center focal piece on white card stock.  The main image is from Great Impressions and the small little umbrella is by Lockhart Stamp Co.  Various colors of Copic markers were used for color. To finish off the card, two circles were cut for the umbrella and popped up on the card using SU's dimensionals.
