Treasure Chest by Blue Knight Rubber Stamps~

Hi guys!
Sharing another stamp from the NEW release called
Treasure Chest by Blue Knight Rubber Stamps. 
 It is a beauty!!! 

The first is created with panpastels for the water and a stencil by
Paper Artsy.  Colored pencils are used to highlight
the sea weed and Treasure Chest.  Stickers are used for the sentiment.
The second card is created the same way with panpastels and
colored pencils but cut with a die by Sizzix called
Snail Mail/Eileen Hull designer.  I love the sheet
 of postage stamps look! So Cool!! The scenery stamps 
work so well for this die. 
All adhesive is by Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L.

Thanks for stopping by.

at the card where my head was on this card.

Topflight Summertime Blog Hop~

Come celebrate Summertime with Topflight Stamps! I’ve teamed up with some great designers to showcase summer cards using the unique products available at Topflight Stamps. Please hop along with us for a chance to win! 

You should have arrived here from Autumn's blog. If not, no worries, catch the details below.

These cards are created in the same way. I created a mixed media background using
Distress Oxide inks. I used blue and green tones of inks. The images were stamped
on the background and then with a water brush, removed the color on the fish
 and sea shells. I then went back in and added
 a little color to the shells.

                                            I used two different stencils that have small circles
                                           on them.  I'll list them below. Dimensional adhesive
                                                      is used to secure the card to the card base.
                                          Products used: ESC10 (stamp set), Hunkydory/Pearls,
                                            Pronty/stickers, Hobby Art/stencil Funky Foliage.

Sea Life by Blue Knight Rubber Stamps~

Hi guys!
Toda is my turn to share my Sea Life cards I created
using the Sea Life Stamp by Blue Knight Rubber Stamps.
I really had fun with this stamp.  Kinda of jazzed it up mixed
media style:):)

The backgrounds are similar but different. I'll explain what I mean:)

Card #1

The background on this card is created with watered down
Distress Oxide inks. The mixed media paper was dipped
in the ink to get the effect of the water (ocean).  The stamps are not
dimensional.  Each image was stamped directly on the water
background and then colored in with Distress Oxide inks.
The image were outlined with a white gel pen.  Pearls and a
sticker sentiment were added to complete the card.

Card #2

On this background I used Distress Oxide ink but applied it 
differently.  I used an foam applicator to apply the ink to
the mixed media paper.  I added sprinkles of water to get the cool
water effects on the background.  A stencil was added for the circles.
I used a white gel pen to highlight the images and the water circles.
The turtle and sea horse were stamped and colored independently,
trimmed out and added to the card front. Both cards used
adhesive by Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L.
