Hey Gill-friend
Hey Gill-friend! Just sharing a Paper Smooches card today. This one uses the new Briny Blue set.
First I stamped the fish on white cardstock and then loosely colored them with Copics. Then I stamped them on the dark blue card and paper pieced them. Oh, and if you notice closely, I had to paper piece those teeny tiny little white eyes on the yellow fish. Tedious? Yes. Worth it? You betcha:)
Gill-friend, you have yourself a festive little Friday, ok? Ciao, Bella♥
Let’s Celebrate
Just saw the July/August issue of Paper Crafts Magazine(digital issue). It was refreshing to see a card that I had completely forgotten about. Kinda like those surprises:) To make this card, I die cut some triangles onto masking paper and then blended in the ink. Hope you’re having a wonderful summer so far:) Thanks for looking!

be happy
I’ve got a fun little card to share today using some goodies from the Simon Says Stamp Summer release. I die cut the “be” the “happy” & the tiny hearts. Super simple and awesome on double-sided pattern paper. The pattern paper is an older piece from my stash. It’s by My Little Shoebox(Audrey Collection).
