3 cards from VSN at Splitcoasttstampers :)

Hi friends!

Splitcoaststampers is having the Virtual Stamp Night (VSN) this weekend

and it's a fast paced, card making bonanza!

For a few hours on Friday and Saturday,

the hostesses have themes for a card and one hour to complete the card

before the next challenge begins.

I was Ms. Friday Night  at 7 pm!

And nope!

I didn't require wearing a bikini ~

that was optional!

hee hee!

Since the theme is centered around a summer playlist,

I chose an older song from 1960 by Brian Hyland:

Itsy Bitsy Teenie Weenie Yellow Polka Dot Bikini!

This song always brings back happy memories of summer time

when this song would play on the radio!

Here is my card using MFT Stamps Pure Innocence Beach Day.

Completion time:  36 minutes

Next,

Shelly's challenge ~ gradient color.

Completion time:  43 minutes

I used my Kuretake Gansai Tambi watercolors with watercolor sheet paper,

and then die cut it with a die-namic from MFT Stamps.

And last, 

Annette's challenge: Fishing in the dark!

Completion time:  23 minutes

I used Avery Elle Hello Chum - such a fun stamp set!

My son wants to go deep sea fishing and night boating - mama says no!

This is just a few cards that I've made ~

and hopefully will be able to make a few more!

Thanks for stopping by!
Big hugs, bigger blessings ~Kelly

Hope you're doing JAW-SOME!

Happy Friday, friends!

Thank you for the sweet birthday wishes!

You are all so sweet and special to my heart ♥

I hope you are having a jaw-some weekend!

I've created a sweet shark card for the inspiration challenge on SCS

and used this bedding as a springboard for my card.

This is an older Avery Elle shark stamp and die set but still a favorite!

My son loved loved LOVED sharks as a younger boy

and we had shark everything :)

This card was fun to make because it involved some paper,

dies, distress ink, markers and some elbow grease!

I wanted to create waves so I reversed my cloud die from CC Designs

and turned it into waves.

I used my distress oxide inks in Salty Ocean and Faded Jeans

and blended them with my blending tool.

Once that was finished, I stamped the sentiment right onto the card,

and added the shark and surfboard on popped up foam and 

added a quick border.

Easy Peasy!

 

 Tomorrow, we'll be at my last birthday excursion

and although it's a surprise, I'm told it involves water!

Hopefully, we won't bump into any of these ocean friends ;)

  Thanks for your visit today!

     Big hugs,  

~Kelly
