Down a little I try and tell you how I made the background. These types of backgrounds are to me so easy to make but I have been doing them for years. I hope you understand what I’m trying to tell you. If not just ask.

Adventure 2015  f
Added some stickles crushed pineapple and star dust.

Adventure 2015  dies
These are the die cuts I used on my card Impression Obsession Die184-L and Die198-C and the Sizzix thinlits #660220 and #660224.

This is how the inside turned out. Using some of the die cuts. Here is the close up of the scene.

I think it is kind of hard to read the writing so if you click on any of the pictures they will get big so you can read it better.

Adventure 2015 1
I really should of taken more pictures but it is the same over and over.

Adventure 2015  2
You can even add some white pen to add ripples in the water.

Adventure 2015  3
I normally punch out a half inch circle to use as the sun or moon. Once you remove the paper them start color it. If you color it before your paper does not want to stick. These colors I used in the Brilliance ink moonlight white, Mediterranean blue, ice blue, coral, beige, sky blue, orange and yellow. Now I do like using the distress inks also.

Thanks for stopping by. Have a wonderful week.

Angelfish

Angelfish 2015
SCACD celebrates today a newly released exclusive rubber stamp set Eclectic Sea (9 rubber stamps all together). The Eclectic Sea is a twist of sorts in how something land bound might be seen in the ocean; for example a Sunflower that is now a Coral Sea Flower and vice a versa. So check out the collection as these are really unique and elegant. SCACD Artist Carmen Medlin and Susana collaborated on the images and we are so happy to be showcasing them to you now. The stamp I’m using is called Angelfish Trio. Now available for purchase in the USA HERE  for the Eclectic Seas collection. Our International Friends if interested can email Susana.
Angelfish 2015  l
Stamped the Angelfish with memento tuxedo black on cryogen paper. I used watercolors to do the background different shades of blues. I looked up Angelfish on the computer and I could not believe how many different kinds their was. I liked this one but I could not fine a name for it.

Angelfish 2015  m
Angelfish are so shinny so the Wink a Stella would work wonderful for coloring them. So the color used was blue and clear. Used diamond glaze for the bubbles. The very little fish I wanted him to be so far in the background so I colored him with Wink a Stella silver.
