Shark!!!!

My friend had a shark themed birthday party for her 5 year old son. Well, Stampin' Up! doesn't have any shark sets, so I had to improvise. I was not sure what to do with the Gorgeous Grunge set we received at Convention, but now I am so glad we got it! It made my card complete!

Crumb Cake card stock cut out with Apothecary Accents Framelits. I free handed the lines to make the shape of a surfboard.

 

Trim off the excess

 Use the framelit to trim down the card stock on both sides in shape of a surf board.

 

For the Sky, 1 3/8" circle punch, use snail to hold the circle down and sponge around.

For the sun, use the paper you punch the whole with to cover the sky and sponge in the circle.

 

Ingredients:

• Stamps: Designer Typeset Photopolymer, Woodgrain, Gorgeous Grunge
• Paper: Crumb Cake - 8 1/2" x 5 1/2"
• Whisper White - 5 1/4" x 4"

Happy Fourth of July!

Here is my post for the Pink Paper Bakery.

 

 I felt this was a perfect place to display my patriotic card. This is a photo of my husband's grandfather when he first joined the Navy in the late 1930's.  My husband has also been in the Navy for 16 years. I am so thankful for these men and women that serve our country.

 

 

 

     I ran the embossing folder through the big shot then inked the brayer in real red. Lightly roll over the stripes. The emboss resist technique is perfect for the stars. I inked them with versamark and covered in clear powder. After heating them, sponge Night of Navy over the top. Everything takes the stain except the stars.
