Beyond The Blue - 62

It's time for a new challenge at Beyond the Blue, we are just a group of friends who started a challenge to incorporate some of the techniques that our fearless leader and friend Lydia aka UnderstandBlue (hince where the name came from) introduced us to in her retreats and lives during the past couple years. 

To create my card I started with a white top folding card base, a red panel and a white panel.  

Using a paper plate, I covered the bottom with shaving cream and used a gift card to smooth it out. Next I dropped some re inker in the shaving cream and used a toothpick to swirl it around. I laid my white panel of cardstock down on a craft mat, placed the stencil over it and then picked up some of the shaving cream with the gift card and scraped it across the stencil giving me this result when I lifted the stencil.

Sweet 'n Sassy New release Insta Hop

Happy Wednesday! 

The Creative Team at Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps is hosting a hop over on Instagram and there is a prize for leaving a comment so head over there and hop along for lots of inspiration. My handle is @cealp 

To create this card I started with a white top folding note card, some kraft cardstock and a couple pieces of white cardstock.

I cut one piece of white cardstock down to 5 x 4 3/4 and inked blended several different shades of blue ink over it to depict water. The second one I used to stamp the puppy image, colored him using Copic markers and the fussy cut him out. 

I stamped the Shiplap background on kraft cardstock and cut it down to depict a peer for the puppy to fish off of. 

This is going to be the Hubs Father's Day card so I used the Father's Day sentiment.

I stamped out the bunny with the wagon from the Hippity Hoppity set and some carrots from the Honey Bunny set colored them and cut them out with the coordinating dies.
