Flowy Jellyfish and Vignette Background

Hello, Tracy Shultz, The Hopeful Crafter, here to share a card I created with a stamp from the June 2021 Technique Junkies new release. There are so many wonderful ocean themed cards in this release. I used the Flowy Jellyfish stamp from the June 2021 release to make this card. I also used the Dream, Hope, Wish Wonderset of four sentiment stamps.

I created a video on my YouTube Channel demonstrating the "how to" make the card:
                                                   
To create this card, I started with a piece of blue pearlescent card stock. I then used a sea sponge to ink around the four sides of the card. I left the center portion clear of any ink, creating a vignette background. The colors of ink that I used were Catherine Pooler's Cummerbund, Aquatina, Blue Suede Shoes, Flirty Fuchsia and Tiki Torch and I dotted ink all around the edges. I stamped the Flowy Jellyfish using Versafine Clair Nocturne Ink. 
I then used the Dream, Hope, Wish, Wonder stamp to stamp the words in 
Versafine Clair Nocturne Ink. I mounted the panel on a purple A2 card base.

Hello again there friends!  Hope you're having a great week and enjoying sundae's, ice cream, and if you're from Sarnia, ON, then ice cream under the bridge is what we all like to have!.  It's almost as famous as eating fries under the bridge.  "That" bridge would be the two bridges spanning where Lake St. Clair joins Lake Huron, and is the same bridge we cross to go over to the United States.

If you're new to my blog you will be interested to know that your order will be 10% off by using the code TJ10Beth.  The stamp I used is called Sundae. Happy shopping!

I painted my image with watercolours and blended several colours of brown and beige to give the waffle cone a more realistic look.

Hope you're off to a good start to your week.

Our Pelican Pun


 Yes, I know this is nearly over-the-top - and the eyebrows of Mr. Peli-Can don't help the overall pun -- but the message is still good. We all need to remember to be positive about what we can accomplish, right? The background is the Zen Shells stamp, the focal image is Be A Pelican (colored with Copic Markers).

Sundae on Sunday


 

Yes...it is Sunday and I am posting a Sundae. How punny is that? There should be room for ice cream and sweets in your life once in a while, though, even if not every Sunday. My Copic colored waffle bowl sundae reminds me of my favorite ice cream, black raspberry it always comes as a pinky-purply ball of yummy goodness, like the stencil in the background from A Colorful Life Designs. What is your favorite flavor?

Glittery Framed Seascape


 Nuvo Glitter Markers never fail to impress me! I have had the same set of markers for years and they still provide beautiful, intense, stay-put glittery color. I used them today on the Framed Seascape Stamp, and added on of the sentiments from the Ocean Framed sentiments in the center.

Every Day should be a Sundae!

 Hi there!


It's my day to post on the Technique Junkies Design blog. I have 2 'sweet' cards to share today, using a fun new release stamp, #SD1105 Sundae, from Technique Junkies. What a great stamp - I'm totally in favor of making every day a Sundae, how about you?

Here's my first card:

I wish you could see all the shiny goodness on this card. The image was colored with Copics, and the ice cream and strawberry were covered with Glossy Accents. In real life, this looks totally yummy! The background clouds were created with Ink Blending Brushes, and A Colorful Life Designs 'Cloud Edger' Stencil.



This card was also colored with Copics, and embellished with Glossy Accents. Seriously, does this not look good enough to eat?  

These were pretty easy to create, and I'm having a lot of fun with the June release! However, I think I'm going to have to say goodbye for today, and go eat some ice cream!!!

So glad you stopped by today!

Now, be sure to head over to the Technique Junkies store and check out the incredible June release!

Thanks for stopping by,
Patti J.
