Just Keep Swimmin'

This fortnight at Incy Wincy Designs, we have a theme of Curves.  Sponsors for the challenge are Limited Runs and Sheepski Designs.

I made two cards.  The first uses an image from Sheepski Designs called Coffee and Cake.

And the second uses an image from Limited Runs called Summer (which can be found in the Girls section)

For the first card, I also used some patterned paper from Lozzy for the background.  The lettering and swirl are self adhesive.  I used a guide to align the letters in a curve.  Colouring of the image is with copic markers and Wink Of Stella.

For the second card, I created the waves using my Gelli Plate and some acrylic paints.  The sentiment is from Imagine That Digis.  I inked the edges of the sentiment with Distress Ink.  Colouring of the image is with copic markers.

Are You Ready My Friend?

For the month of July, we are having weekly challenges at  for our Christmas in July at Lil Patch of Crafty Friends. 

Our sponsor for the first week is The Paper Shelter.

I have used an image from The Paper Shelter called Are You Ready My Friend?

I followed a tutorial for Retiform Technique to create the background.  I used Distress Inks in three different colours.  The stamps used for the background are all from a set that came free with a magazine.

Colouring of the image is with copic markers and Kindy Glitz.  I added a few stickers dotted around to complete the card.
