Hello friends! Monday already? Yikes! What a fun-stamping-filled-crazy-crafty weekend I had! I taught four classes at Paper Garden, and shared time with some wonderful crafty gals! Lots of old friends, and many new friends...and even a tiny puppy! We had it all! Everything went well and it was good times! It was HOT again this weekend and lemme tell ya, it was good to be inside with the a/c going. THANK YOU to everyone who came out to class! I really appreciate it! Let's do it again soon. Well, maybe not too soon, I still need to unpack my car...LOL.
Today is one of my days to post for Taylored Expressions and I have a happy Summer card for ya! I used the awesome new Chevron Border dies and the also awesome new stamp set called Under The Sea. I wanted to use this cute whale image when this release came out...couldnt' wait to ink it up. The layout is clean and crisp, with some pretty royal blue paper... Take a look!
Isn't that a funny sentiment? Love it!
The new Chevron Die is a set of two dies....but actually you can get three different sizes out of it...because the piece in between the two makes another one! I cut out a bunch of bright blue chevrons and glued them to my white card layer. Then I cut them all at once to make it crisp on the edges.
How ca-yute is this whale??! EEEEEEEP! He's so happy. I colored him with a bunch of gray Copic marker colors and then went over him with BG10 which is a very light aqua...just to make him more oceany. Is that a word? It is now! I added some gray spots too, to make him look like a real whale!
You know me and my foam tape! I popped my little whale on some to make him stand out off the card. I think I will have to make more of these cards - I want to make one with the little crab from this set too...and maybe some red chevrons...too many ideas, too little time!
Here's a quick pic I took with my iphone in the middle of class yesterday! What a beautiful group, dontcha think? Have a wonderful week ahead! Thanks for stopping by today! :-)
Adorable card! The bright blue and white is so nice and clean, love it! Wish I could have been in your class, looks like it was a lot of fun!
