Happy Day all!
Sue B here from Susana’s Scrappin’ Corner and today I am sharing my challenge project here at Crafty Card Gallery’s blog. The theme this month was water and I just LOVE the ocean and the creatures that live in it (ok maybe not sharks so much). My children love nautical creatures and I needed to make a graduation card for my daughter (graduation was yesterday btw). I would have loved a sentiment that said “Whale done” but “Love you Tons” works too. Of course my Cameo Silhouette helped out on this one! Here it is:
I drew in the seagulls the way she used to draw them when she was little. Actually even the whale reminds me of her early art. Thanks for stopping by and I wish you a wonderful day. Until next time….

This months challenge was water, so I decided to use my BRAND NEW Sailboat Set and Whimsical Moon and Stars Set that will be released NEXT MONTH!!! Both sets are fun and versatile.
This card is a trifold card, that fits inside a business size envelope, which makes it even more unique!
The sentiment on this second fold was from a stamp that I formed into the wave on my acrylic block.
How neat is that? I love that the stamps can be used like this!
If you prefer digital images, this sailboat is available
on my
website or at my
Etsy Shop.

Hello friends,
Check out our really cool cards, from this months challenge – Crafty Card Gallery Design Team. The theme is water….anything goes.
For my card, I chose to do watercoloring using tim holtz distress markers. These markers are a really good tool. It’s a unique and fun way to blend colors.
Title: Steampunk Dragonfly
Hop on over to my blog for more details on my card and get a closer look at all the cool gadgets and gears I used.

Water coloring is one of my most favorite things to do on cards, so it worked in very well when the design team were asked to include ‘water’ on our cards for this month’s DT challenge.
Here’s the card I made:
For this card, I colored with Tim Holtz Distress Inks. Using an aquapen makes the distress inks go on so much better, and they generally look more evenly colored.

Today, we’re sharing with you our “stamp challenge” for this month with
Crafty Card Gallery design team.
For this challenge we we’re asked to use: Water, so it could be water colors, a drink, a pool, a lake, blue… to be featured on your card.
Here is our card:
We picked this image to use on our card as it had blue on; although it had a cute yellow duck. I’ve always had a thing for cute yellow ducks & found myself putting my kids in gender color colors yellow & green when they were babies so ducks were included. =)
When we purchased this we thought it was a digi’ but instead it was clip art. We tried to do multiple features with this but were unable to & ended up cutting it out by hand. It took quite a while as I’m a perfectionist!!
We’re happy with how it turned out & our duck is quite cute splashing in all those blue raindrops!
More details about our card can be found on our blog at
here.
