COLLECTED CRAFTY COLLAB SUMMERTIME

SUMMER THEM

#collectedcraftycollabs

Hello Crafty Peeps,

This month our theme is Summer time with an optional choice of using an embossing folder.
Once again I need to give a shout out to Karen at Misplaced Mojo. Her and her squirrel sisters have done an amazing job. I can't begin to imagine how much time this takes them each month. Please make sure to stop by each person on the hop and leave comments. I know that they are greatly appreciated.

For my first card I used a technique called swinking. What is swinking you ask?. It is a technique I learned from Miss Laurel Beard. I will leave a link to her You tube channel below. It is a fun and easy technique almost anyone can do. Here is this picture below so you can see how mine turned out. This is just one variation of it.  I guess doing it this way is similar to ink smooshing . Here you can also see the Nuvo Shimmer powder I used for the gold  splatter.

 Here  you can see the stamp set I used, by Pink and Main called Fiesta. I thought these drinks were perfect for the summer time theme. I water colored them using Distress Oxide Inks. The lemon slices are from a shaker bit mix from Trinity as well as the sentiment. That set is called Summertime Sentiments.

For this card I went with a swimming theme. I used Distress Oxide Inks to make the background for this one. I used an MFT stamp set along with an Avery Elle one. The die in the background is embossed with an old embossing folder. I'm sorry I no longer remember the name. I fussy cut out cute swimsuit she is wearing to match her beach ball. I used a stencil over the raft and masked her off to to that. The Seahorse is from the Avery Elle set and  is tucked one of the waves.
