I colored everything with Copics and cut them out adding them to a side step card. I had a desk just like this when I was in grade school.


















 

Dots

This week at Speedy Fox and Friends we are using dots. Be sure to go over and add your card for a chance to win a cool stamp set.  Here's my card. I used a Technique from the June/JUly issue of the Technique Junkies Newsletter called Dotted Edges.

Last Day of Sneak Peaks

This is a cute set called Oh Crab. I've had fun with it this week. I've got 2 different cards to show you using the set. The first card I masked off the center and sponge first over a shell stencil with a dark color. Removed the stencil and sponged with the lighter color.  I used my cloud template upside down to form waves. Added real sea shells for my embellishments I picked up on the beach last week.

This card I did the same thing with the cloud template to form waves but masked off the bottom and sponged with brown for sand. Then used a texture tool on my sand.

Here is my card. I happen to live on a small farm in Florida. We have cows, pigs and chickens. Before we moved here we lived in Ohio. Loved going to Amish Country regularily and my daughter was in 4H and showed goats at the Lorain County Fair. This was great fun.
