CARDS MADE THROUGH OUT THE WEEK

To right are is a card that I made for swap on Inky Fun Stampers  
( http://groups.yahoo.com/group/inkyfunstampers/ ) I used my Spellbinders Nestability ( http://www.spellbinderspaperarts.com/ ) for the fish and hook.  I used a Cuttlebug Folder ( http://www.provocraft.com/ ) for the plaque the fish is mounted on.  I colored the fish and hook with Prismacolor pencils ( http://www.prismacolor.com/ ) and the plaque was colored with chalk ( http://www.craf-tproducts.com/ ).  The fishing pole is a stamp from Hearts in Touch ( http://www.heartsintouch.com/ ).  I placed some fine silver wire (32 gauge) from the fishing pole to the hook
and passing it under the mounted fish.  All was then mounted on light turquoise card stock.  The word stamp "Happy Birthday" is from 7gypsies that I purchase from JoAnn's ( http://www.joann.com/ ) while visiting in Iowa. 


The photo of cards above right were mailed out as "thank you"  cards to some friends of mine. I had some card stock that I had played with different colors of ink.  I was attempting a rainbow pattern with these inks.  The stamps are from Hampton Art ( http://www.hamptonart.com/ ).  I really enjoyed thinking outside of the box to create not only the rainbow effect, but also the different styles of cards that I made.  I hope all enjoyed the cards I made for them.

Please leave a comment if you care to.  Enjoy and here's hoping you'll come by and visit again.
