Sun Filled Wishes From Shelly And Sandy

Hello!  It didn't take too long for me to make another card from my last one!  Yay (:

Today I'm sharing another card that I've made from the charity bundle stamp set that Purple Onion Designs have put up for sale for the Bahamas Hurricane Dorian Disaster Relief.

And by the way, did you participate in my first giveaway at my Instagram page?  Never mind if you  haven't, just look out for the next one then, which I hope will be soon!

Stamps used: Sand Dunes, Tide, Beach Toy Set, Beach Umbrella, Shelly (Bathing Mouse), 

Sandy (Bathing Bear)

I created the sunny background using Sunrise radiating rays stencil from My Favourite Things and blended with Distress oxide ink in Squeezed Lemonade and Wild Honey.  I love how the vibrant orange that the oxide inks give and how smooth they go on the cardstock.

Again I created the sandy beach using the same method as I did for the last card and for this time I added in the blue sea using the sea Tide stamp, blending Distress oxide ink in colour Salty Ocean.

All images are coloured using Copic markers and then I fussy cut the images using my favourite EK Success Cutter Bee precision scissors.  And as usual, I added some little 'dots' just at the sentiment to make them look like the little air bubbles for the added fun!  Just got to use my bottles of Nuvo Drops!

Hope you like the card that I've shared today!  And congratulations to Mimi Zitrone for you have won the giveaway!  Thank you and enjoy the stamp set!

Stay calm and make more cards!

For The Bahamas Hurricane Dorian Disaster Relief

Hello!

I've been a little under the weather a couple of weeks back and also I guess I've kind of lost my crafting mojo for a bit!  I haven't been doing any crafting for more than 3 weeks!

But the card that I'll be sharing today, it took me less than 4 hours to create!  Not that it's impossible to make a card in 4 hours but I usually take a day or two to make one that I'm happy with.  But to make it in 4 hours, all it took was a bit of motivation, for a great cause.

Now for a limited time only, till 15 September 2019, this Sunday to be exact, Purple Onion Designs has put up a stamp bundle of 13 stamps with 15 individual images will be going at USD35.00.  This set of stamps has been discounted almost 50% with all proceeds going to charities helping in the relief effort.  Exact details can be found at IG page of Purple Onion Designs.

In support of the generous contribution from Purple Onion Designs and to do my part, I will be purchasing a set too and host a GIVEAWAY at my Instagram page for officially reaching 2,000 followers, to thank all my friends for supporting my Instagram page.

And here is the card that I've put up in less than 4 hours (:

Stamps used: Palm Tree, Beach Chair, Beach Toy set, Buddy, Smokey, Sand Dunes.

All the 6 stamps that I've used for this card are from the bundle stamp set.  You can create cards of different occasions for friends of all ages with all the stamps in the bundle.  Who doesn't like beach, palm tree and some cute critters? 

The scene of this card is a reminiscent of the beautiful sandy beaches and clear blue sky of the Bahamas coastline.  I created the sandy beach by using Distress Oxide ink in Wild Honey, Squeezed Lemonade and Distress Ink in Frayed Burlap.  I added some random dark brown and black 'dots' with some of my Copic markers and added some white ones with my white gel marker, to make it look like a real sandy beach.  A few small little sequins added a little 'bling' as seashells :)

I also blended some Distress Ink in Tumbled Glass to create the blue sky.

To make Smokey and Buddy look a little more fun, I added some stripes on Smokey and some patches on Buddy.  All images are coloured using Copic markers.

Again, this set can be purchased until this Sunday 9/15/19, by clicking on the link here and then found in several spots on the home page of the website. .

Even if you own any of the stamps in the set, it is still a great deal for a very important cause. I’m sure you could gift any duplicates to stamping friends.  So get a set now!

That's all for now.  Going to work on my next card now and I hope it will not take another couple of weeks to complete!
