New Creations make a Splash!

Here are my latest creations, based on this sketch from CardPatterns:


For both cards, I used three shades of blue card stock (DCWV), cut into 1 inch by 1 inch squares, inked on the edge with Aquamarine ink (Vivid!) and adhered to the card. Then I added some dark hydrangea waves with Papier dimensional paint. To the right of the card, I have adhered with pop dots a hand-coloured Mermaid Marci (LaLa Land Crafts), which is digitally stamped/printed on white card stock and coloured with water colour pencils and Spica pens.
Two jewels are added to the top right corner of the card.

The card on the left is a Kraft card and the card on the right is a square white card, both from Envelope Solutions.
Here is a close up of the mermaids:


I have not added a sentiment to the cards and the inside is blank....I have left it up to the giver of the card! 
"Splash!" would be a great sentiment, or "Happy Birthday" or perhaps "Thinking of You!"

These cards are for sale in my Etsy Shop: JemLou Productions, click here for the link.
These cards will also be displayed in the LaLaLand Crafts Customer Gallery.

Thanks for looking! :)

More Valentine Cards

Here are some more Valentine Cards:


They both include Sugar N' Spice Marci (LaLaLand Crafts) that I have printed on to card stock and hand coloured with my water colour pencils.

The idea for the first one with Be Mine, came from Tuesday Morning Sketches. Here is the sketch:

The idea for the second, sort of came from Card Patterns! Here is the sketch:


For both I have used:

  • a kraft card and envelope from Envelope Solutions
  • paper from a Spring Stack from a few years ago by DCWV
  • paper frills from Doodlebug Designs
  • jewels from my stash
  • the card stock (also from Envelope Solutions) has been inked on the edge with aquamarine Vivid! ink
  • the same ink is used for Be Mine, stamped with an Antique Alphabet Set by PSX
Both cards will be for sale in my shop on Etsy: JemLou Productions. Here is the link.
This card will also be displayed in the LaLaLand Crafts Customer Gallery.

Be Mine Valentine Card

Here is my latest card using a sketch from Tuesday Morning Sketches.
Here is the sketch:

Here is my take on the sketch: Be Mine Valentine Card:


I have used:
  • a kraft card and envelope by Envelope Solutions.
  • digital Sugar n' Spice Marci (LaLaLand Crafts) printed on a piece of white card stock and hand coloured with my Faber-Castell water colour pencils and Spica glitter pens. I rounded the corners and inked the edge with Raspberry Vivid! ink.
  • a piece of paper with hearts from a really old "Spring Stack" from DCWV, which I have adhered to a piece of red card stock, also from DCWV.
  • two lengths of red ribbon with silver hearts (Imaginisce) are adhered behind and below the images.
  • three jewels are attached to the left top corner of the matted paper.
  • finally "be mine" is stamped in raspberry Vivid! ink using an Antique Alphabet stamp set by PSX.
This card is for sale in my Etsy shop: JemLou Productions. Here is the link.
This card will also be displayed in the LaLaLand Crafts Customer Gallery.
