Work Hard

Everyone needs encouragement and a reminder to work hard and stay humble. Thoughts? 

Stamps:

   Adventure Awaits

Paper:

   Always Artichoke A-2

   Night of Navy 5-3/8 x 4-1/8

   Adventure Bound DSP 5-1/4 x 4

   Basic White 5-1/4 x 4 (Inside)

Markers:

   Always Artichoke

   Night of Navy

Technique:

   CAS

Accessories:

   Brushed Metallic Dots

   Adhesive

First, I colored the words on the stamp, using Always Artichoke and Night of Navy markers.

I then huffed on the stamp to moisten the ink and stamped directly onto the Adventure Bound DSP panel.

Next, I adhered the DSP panel onto a Night of Navy matte, and then onto the Always Artichoke card front.

Lastly, I added a Brushed Metallic Dot to each of the corners of the DSP panel and adhered a Basic White panel to the inside of the card.

Fish in the Sea

There are many reasons to make cards. Sometimes, I need one for a specific occasion. Other times, I just want to calm down or de-stress, and sometimes, I need to use up supplies left-over from other projects. Then there are the items I bought on sale, knowing that I would use them! So, I made this card to use up those fish stickers that are sitting in my stash. Why did you make your last card? Or better yet, what does your stash look like? 

Stamps:

   Adventure Awaits

Paper:

   Crumb Cake A-2

   Adventure Bound DSP 2 x 4-1/4

   Whisper White 5-1/4 x 4 (Inside)

Ink:

   Chocolate Chip

Technique:

   CAS

Accessories:

   Chocolate Chip 1/4" Poly-twill Ribbon (16")

   3-D Fish Stickers

   Adhesive

First, I stamped the large stamp on the upper part of the card front.

I then added a strip of Adventure Bound designer series paper (DSP) from my stash.

I then tied a chocolate Chip poly-twill ribbon to hide the seam of the DSP.

I adhered a couple of 3-D fish stickers, and adhered the Whisper White panel to the inside of the card.

Manly Work

 Large, bold sentiments look great by themselves on a card front. They are also perfect for those men who do not like all of the flowers or sparkle. If you use a light-colored background, the sentiment can be stamped directly onto it. I found this one with just a few printed leaves on it. I think it made the perfect background for it. Of course, you can create your own background if you like. 

Stamps:

   Adventure Awaits

Paper:

   Mossy Meadow A-2

   Printed Paper 5-1/4 x 4

   Whisper White 5-1/4 x 4 (Inside)

Ink:

   Mossy Meadow

Technique:

   CAS

Accessories:

   Adhesive

I consider this card a Clean And Simple (CAS) card because it only required one stamp in the middle of the paper. 

What do you think of this sentiment? I know there will always be that person who likes to boast about everything they have done. You know the type that only talks about himself. 

I think in today's world with so many people having to work together and collaborate, this sentiment is needed. One idea sparks another, and then when it is all said and done, the team should take credit. The person from the previous paragraph needs this card. LOL!

The Road

 Travel has been placed on the back burner since the COVID-19 virus began to spread. Still, there are those that must travel regardless of circumstances. Mostly everyone is taking the proper precautions to stay healthy. Not traveling and missing my loved ones who live far away, my brain took me here:

Stamps:

   Summer Days

   Adventure Awaits

Paper:

   Merry Merlot A-2

   Whisper White 5-1/4 x 4 (2)

Ink:

   Merry Merlot

   Summer Sun

Watercolor Pencils:

   Old Olive

   Garden Green

   Granny Apple Green

   Basic Gray

   Early Espresso

Technique:

   Sponging

Accessories:

   Sponge

   Blender Pen

   Adhesive

I stamped my image from the Summer Days stamp set and colored it with my watercolor pencils. I then used a blender pen to blend and enrich the colors.

Next, I sponged my sky with Summer Sun. My sunshine is spotty on purpose. I didn't want too much sun, but I also didn't want a white sky.

I then stamped a sentiment from the Adventure Awaits stamp set. I think it fit with the image.

On the Wall

What would you write if you had a brick wall as your canvas? Can you read the writing on this wall?

Stamps:

   Adventure Awaits

   Sassy Salutations

Paper:

   Cajun Craze A-2, 5 x 3-3/4

   Whisper White 5-1/4 x 4, 4-3/4 x 3-1/2

   Brick Wall DSP 4-1/2 x 3-1/4 

Ink:

   Whisper White Craft

Technique:

   Heat Embossing

Accessories:

   White Embossing Powder

   White Brads

   Adhesive

My only advise on this card is to make sure that you move your heat tool around. If your paper gets too hot, it will burn. As you can see, some of my white embossing turned a bit yellow.
