under water theme

I thought I'd share a couple cards I made for a challenge in one of my swap groups, it was an underwater theme!
I started with some watercolor backgrounds I made I didn't want them to look the same....

 who doesn't love mermaids.... I cut my tail using my silhouette portrait and colored it using dew drop inks so it shimmers...the sentiment is from Unity stamps and I thought it went perfectly with my theme!

 for my second card, I found these cute little tropical fish. it was a free cut file from Printable cuttable creatable they have some really cute files! I colored them using the dew drop inks also they would shimmer (also the coral).

 the green leafy weedy stuff was all colored with a water brush and some markers...the sentiment is from a stamp set called thanks for the lift by my creative time ( yes I mix and match everything LOL)

 all in all, I am very pleased with how both cards turned out! I hope you like them too!

thanks for coming to take a peek!

Long time

I know I've been sort of ignoring my blog and I'm truly sorry but life has thrown us a bunch of curve balls lately and we're just getting things in order! On the bright side, we bought a new house which I love. It came with a huge overgrown garden out back and a couple flowerbed surrounding the house...have I mentioned I kill plants just by looking at them! So that's been a big hurdle for me I have to say I dislike weeding!

but it had to be done and then we got to sit on the patio now that we could find it lol

Oh and here is a look at the overgrown "garden" out back!

if you look real close you'll see the bunny....there are lots of them around here! Anyway now that we are moved in and things are getting put in order I should be back to blogging regularly :D

thanks to those who have stuck around! I have a couple really cute cards I'll be posting tomorrow!
