Quite a Catch! Zen Tangle

Hello! I have another challenge card and a new technique to show you. It is called Zen Tangle and mostly done in black and white using like a Micron pen. The challenge is over at SCS and they have a link here. The fish image is from Gina's new stamp set "Quite a Catch" by Gina K. Designs. I stamped the image and just doodled. How fun is that! I almost called this "Quite a Tail" but thought better of it because I have learned to be more careful of what I put in my titles. IYKWIM.


That's pretty much it! Oh I did use some corner punches. But it was a lot of fun.
Have a wonderful day and thanks for stopping by

Quite a Catch Blog Hop

Hello! Tonight we are showing more samples of this adorable stamp set "Quite a Catch" by Gina K. Designs. I'm having so much fun playing with this stamp set. Love the cute characters!
Now in this first card, I colored the images with copic's. Sponged the background. The foreground sand is copic's E31. The large fan shell I made using the Sunray technique, using Memento's Desert sand and Angel pink. I then used Spellbinder's nestabilities Big Scalloped oval.
The little shell in front is from Melanie Muenchinger's new set "Gifts from the Sea" by Gina K. Designs. Card stock is Red Hot and white from Gina K. Designs.



Now in my next project I made some napkin rings. Using " Quite a Catch" I stamped and colored the image with copic's ,then Sakura glaze pen for the shell of the crab and cut out the image . I then used a image from Gina's set "Organize It" stamped it in really rust ink . I then used Spellbinder's nestabilities label 6. Sponged with really rust and I attached it to the crab image. I rolled the label around a Liquid applique tube to give it a bend in the ring.



Here is what it looks like before I attached it around the napkin. Using a glue dot on one end to secure it. Note the arrow.


I thought this would be really cute for a place setting for a crab feed! I even was thinking it would be cute to stamp him on those white paper placemats.

More April Release Cards

Hello! Hope you enjoyed Gina K. designs release of Aprils new stamps sets!! The design team did a amazing job for showcasing the new stamps sets! Here are the cards I had for the release.
The stamp set in this first card is by Melanie Muenchinger " Gifts from the Sea" by Gina K. Designs. I love this set it is just full of beautiful sea shells and the sentiments are just perfect.
I made a photo frame by leaving the top outside layer unglued and I used Scor-Pal one/eight inch around the other three sides. So then, I can change the photo or leave the sentiment one in.
The beautiful little girl in the photo is My Granddaughter from a few years back. That would be Theresa's daughter. The shells are colored with prisma pencils. The card stock is from Gina K. Designs.



I added a few photo's of putting the photo in the card.







Now this is a bookmark done on acetate. Karen has a challenge at Stamp TV and I thought this little guy was perfect for it. I colored the images with copic's.
The stamp set is by Gina K. Designs "Quite a Catch" . This set is just adorable and really fun to color.
