OSAAT #170 - Anything Goes

The theme this week at One Stitch at a Time is Anything Goes. It was Josephine's turn to pick for the two of us to use this week. She chose Ocean Blue Paper Pack 2 by Oase of Panda Bear over at Stitchybear Digital Outlet and to go with these wonderful papers she chose the image, Ocean Floor, by Stitchy.

The card blank is by Joanna Sheen. I chopped the front of the large 8x8 square card and covered it with the rolling seas paper, using a strip down the outside edge of the card. My idea was to give you the feeling that the mermaid is at the bottom of these rolling waves. I coloured the image with my Promarkers and used a Sakura diamond pen to add some sheen to the tail, fin and hair of the mermaid. I cut round the image and used Distress Ink round the edges. A Memory Box die, Loopy Rings, cut in silver lightweight card, act as bubbles. I generated the sentiment on the computer and cut it with my brand new Spellbinders Resplendent Rectangle which arrived in the post this morning! This was also given some Distress Ink treatment.

One Moment in Time

I won this Saturated Canary image by Krista Smith when I entered Kyms Crafty Card's challenge blog. I coloured her red, white and blue because of the Olympics, this year in London. I coloured her with my Promarkers and cut it out with a Spellbinders grand oval nestie, matting it on to a bright red Mirri card scalloped nestie. I used a firework backing paper from Oase at Stitchybear Digital Stamp Shop and matted that on to navy blue card from Papermill. I used some gold Mirri card to cut the Spellbinders Ironworks motif die and tucked it behind the image at the top left. The card blank is a large scalloped card from Craft UK.

Pink, White and Silver

Yes, Pink, White and Silver is the theme for the very last challenge of Lili of the Valley. I've missed a few weeks because of Christmas preparations but decided I had to take part in the very last one. (There will be another challenge running but it won't belong to LOTV though it will have the same blog address.)

I used a large scalloped card blank by Craft UK and the backing paper is by Oase, over at Stitchybear Digital Store. The silver card is in a pack I've had for absolute years and I thought I would never use it. I coloured the image, which I got in the magazine freebie pack, with Promarkers and cut it with a Spellbinders rectangle nestie, backing it with the scalloped nestie in silver. A Sakura stardust pen on the cake stand gave the impression of it being silver. I used Spun Sugar Distress Ink to edge the image and the sentiment, which was generated on the computer. The silver backing to the sentiment and the border are both from the Spellbinders Parisian Accents set.
