Just Us Girls # 355 - WATER

 

Dear Ones~
It's WORD week over at Just Us Girls, and our host Sharyn has picked the word WATER.

Here's my Sample:
I have had this beautiful Heartfelt Creations stamp set called Under the Sea for awhile and have wanted to ink it up, so this challenge was perfect. I wish you could see all the sparkle,  I pulled out an old glitter paper pack and did some die cutting and punching with different colors. The background is done with Distress Ink sponged on watercolor paper and then stamped with a few different images in black. I really like the effect. The fish are colored with Zigs and die cut.

Here are the Ingredients:
GKD Black Onyx Card Stock
Various Glitter Papers
Distress Inks
Heartfelt Creations Under the Sea Stamps
SSS Ring Frame Die
GKD Petals and Wings Stamp
GKD Flowers Bloom Stamp
GKD By the Sea 2 Stamp
Zig Clean Color Markers
Martha Stewart Pine Branch Punch
Nuvo Clear Crystal Drops

I would like to welcome our Guest Designer for the month of August, Colleen Foelker. Colleen is over-the-top talented and I can't wait to see what she creates for us this month. 

Please visit the JUST US GIRLS blog to see the wonderful cards that our August Guest Designer, Colleen, and the rest of the team have made this week. And remember, if you win Chic of the Week in any of our August challenges, you will be in the running to be chosen as our Guest Designer for the month of October!!   I hope to see you there. 
 
Good luck, and thanks for stopping by!!

  10. Oh that bubble die is perfect for this card. Love the pretty fish and all the sparkle. by the way got my light. I need to get some white core board so I can set it up like you do, but I can see how much more detail I am getting and no shadows if you place light right. Thanks for the tip.
