Gerda Steiner - Catch A Wave...

Hi all,

Oh how I love this little guy in the catch a wave stamp set by Gerda Steiner... he is so cute...  So when I saw that the theme was Surfs Up, at Male Room challenge I had to enter this little guy!

I started this card by heat embossing the SSS - Waves in turquoise embossing powder by Ranger

I then masked this off with a piece of paper. For the top half  I used scattered straw distress oxide ink as my base.

 I am using the Ranger - Wendy Vecchi Make art station for this.  Those magnets are really strong I used them to not only hold the paper but also the Tim Holtz stencil I used.

I blended ripe persimmon, wild honey and mustard seed for the sunrays.

The sea was a blend of mermaid lagoon and salty ocean and I added white textile paint with a sprinkle of glitter with my Glitter Duster.

I coloured my little guy with Prismacolor pencils but I sketched around him and made this the beach, which is also coloured with Prismacolours.  I made a slit in between the sea and the sun and pushed the image through it, and adhered him with foam tape.

The final touch was a few seagulls and the sentiment which are from the SSS - Surfs Up set.

I'm also entering this into

Catch a Wave ??

Hi all,

Yesterday I played with the "Catch a Wave" stamp set from Gerda Steiner, when I saw how cute this little duck was with his surf board, I knew he was a must buy...

I wanted to create a scene for my card, Imagine you're in the ocean looking at the beach...that's the idea I was going for anyway...

I coloured the images with Copics, but the palm tree is from a Lawn Fawn die set - Palm Trees.  I've used distress oxide ink to create my background scene..

So the clouds have been created with the MFT cloud stencil in tumbled glass, the seagulls are from the SSS Surfs up stamp set.

For the sea, I die cut two stencils from the mama elephant Trio of waves die set, I used salty ocean and mermaid lagoon and I went over it with some white textile paint where the waves were crashing.

The beach is antique linen and then I stamped over it with the Altenew snowing stamp and MFT kraft ink.

I cut a small line in my beach so that my surf boards look like they are stuck in the sand and the palm tree is stuck on the sky part of the panel.

The beach panel has been mounted on to fun foam, to create some depth.

The sentiment is from the Catch a Wave stamp set, I'm entering this into the

CAS Cards

Hi all,

So now that I know what a CAS card is, I'm really enjoying doing them LOL...

I think CAS cards are harder to do than "normal" cards... it's the knowing when to stop with the layers and the sequins haha... Don't get me wrong, I really love doing my "normal"cards, but CAS cards I'm finding I really have to think about it ....

Anyways its our youngest son's birthday soon...when I say younger he's 22 LOL.. but I thought this card is quite appropriate for him, as he usually says no cake, I'd rather have the money LOL...

This little cutie, is a Gerda Steiner Digi called Birthday Bear, I've coloured him with Copics from the E family, 51,,53, 55 & 57 A small amount of R20 for his cheeks and I've used the Warm Gray's for a shadow to ground him, starting with W1 then W0 & W00

The cake is Y28 & Y11 and the frosting on the cake is E37 & E39 and its chocolate of course with a nutella fillling LOL...

I added some clear nuvo drops for the frosting and black for his nose and some nuvo glitter drops on the candle.

I used some MFT paper that I had in my stash and the sentiment, I have no idea, it was just in my stash unlabelled in my filing system LOL

Hope you like the card and I'm entering this into
