Crackerbox & Suzy Stamps - Swimming By to Say Hi

Hello everyone!

I am here with Crackerbox & Suzy Stamps a card using the Crackerbox and Suzy Stamp called "Marco - Sea Turtle" and the sentiment is "Swimming By".  I love how it turned out and I think this would be a perfect card for a male or a female.

Here is my card and how I put it together:

My card is an A2 size card, I used distressed inks to create the back ground, the white streaks I used a stencil from my stash inking it with a white pigment ink using the Life Changing Brushes.  I stamped and used my scan and cut to cut the "Marco - Sea Turtle" out, I colored it with copics and added some glossy accents to his back to give the turtle more dimension.  I added the sentiment from Crackerbox and Suzy Stamps called "Swimming By", do you notice the sentiment looks like it's floating in the water?  I finished the card off my adding some clear droplets and adding some white gel pen on the turtle for interest.

Here is another look at the card.

Crackerbox & Suzy Stamps - You are the one for Me

Hello everyone!

I hope you all are enjoying your summer!  I can't believe we are already half way through July!  I am here with Crackerbox & Suzy Stamps with this adorable slider card.

Here is my card and how I put it together:

I die cut the frame of the card and then inked it with distressed inks.  I splashed water on the panel so I could get white splatters to look like bubbles in the water.  I had a square wavy frame that I thought would be perfect for the waves on the card, I die cut that out and used distress ink and adhered it to the card. I stamped the fish from the Crackerbox & Suzy Stamps called Fish Striped and Fish Polka Dot  and colored them with my new Spectrum Noir Tri-Blend markers.  I love these markers, it takes the guessing out of which colors will blend.  I added some glossy accent to the Polka Dot Fish and on the green stripe on the Striped Fish.  I adhered the fish to the slider card and added some droplets to finish the outside of my card.

Here is another view of the slider card, I wrote the word "pull" with a black marker.

Here I pulled the slider up and the sentiment is from Crackerbox & Suzy Stamps called Fish in the Sea.  The background I used distress inks and splattered some water to the look of the ocean.  

Here is a side view of the slider card, this is by far one of my favorite cards I created this year.
