Here Fishy Fishy!

The Male Room's challenge this round is Fish/Fishing.   I love to use the Hero Arts layering stamps with Oxide Ink.

I inked up the background, and added the seaweed in the same colors.   I "flicked" water on the background to create bubbles, and added Glossy Accents to the bubbles.  The goldfish were fussy cut and popped up on the base. It was quite time consuming, but worth it for a friend's 80th birthday.  We spent many happy hours together at the beach.  Love you, J!

Peaceful Butterflies

I like to work will many different styles and layouts, but I find that I am most comfortable with the CAS cards.  As much as I enjoying looking at elaborate creations, they are just not me. 

Case in point: 

The butterfly stamp is from Martha Stewart, sentiment from Fiskars.  Buttons are from Favorite Findings, and are sewn onto the top layer, and secured with a dot of Glossy Accents. 

Most importantly, I need to learn to take better pictures!!!!
