Pirate Ship

Since I have a two year old son and several nephews, I just had to have the Ahoy Matey stamp set!

I stamped it on watercolor paper using black Stazon ink. Then I used my watercolor crayons (a favorite toy) and my aqua painter to color it in. When I was finished, I sponged Creamy Caramel ink on the edges and mounted it on Basic Black. The card base is Tempting Turquoise and the strip going across is Copper. I also inked just the word "ARRR" with a marker and added that to the corner.

This color combo is so striking and this card pattern is so quick and easy.

It's a Boy!

Whenever friends have babies, I either make a name frame, or a personalized baby card that they could frame if they choose to. Here's my latest using those fun Cool Caribbean long notes.
Details: Long Notes (Cool Carribean), Brilliant Blue, Certainly Celery & Whisper White cardstock; So Saffron, Tempting Turquoise, and Brilliant Blue ink; Whimsical Alpha upper & Polka Dots and Paisley stamp sets; white gel pen; silver cording. Also, I like to use Stampin' Dimensionals to adhere the letters so they don't fall off.
