I can't believe its August already! Feels like just yesterday the kids were finishing up the school year. I've been looking forward to August because this month I get to play with the Mark's Finest Papers team as a guest designer! I couldn't wait to ink up some new stamps and get started today.
This first card uses a set to be released this month, Flourished Sea Creatures. Both myself and my fish-boy son were super excited to see this ocean life set! He's already completed a card for his dad. I used the SSC Clean and Simple challenge Polka dots as my inspiration for this card. I'm pretty sure seahorses are more brown and plain but I loved the idea of a row of colorful sealife!
This next card is another SSC challenge...Plaid Silhouettes. I had never heard of this technique before but its a fun one for those solid silhouette stamps that we have a hard time using. Basically you ink the stamp completely with the lightest color ink and then using the side of the ink pad add stripes. I used another soon-to-be released MFP set, Tweet Blessings. I hand cut the holly leaves and the berries are Stampendous Class A Peel Dot Sparklers.
Thats it for today, but I've been doing a ton of stamping and have a few secret projects in the works, so I'll have more to share in the coming days! Thanks for stopping by!

love the bright seahorses, and that plaid cat is AWESOME!
Both great cards. Really shows your awesome diversity as a designer.
Congrats girlie! Greta job with both cards. I love Speedy :)
Love both the cards, but I have a soft spot for sea horses. We went to the Monterey Bay Aquarium last year and they just opened a whole area on sea horses. They are beautiful. If your son would like to see pictures of them, I could send some.
Those seahorses are so cute! Great cards, Wendy! You are awesome!
