Mini Monday #simplestamping make

Just realised I didn't share this little #simplestamping By The Bay beauty at the time... although I did mention it... 

Same as this narrow notecard here... but with the stitched rectangle and mat removed...

Gulls inked up in Gray Granite and Pumpkin Pie legs & beaks using markers... and background scene Aquapainter watercoloured using Pool Party & Sahara Sand... Greeting in Gray Granite too...

And here is a Narrow Notecard mini trio for you...

The middle sea shell one being shared here...

She sells... sea shells... on the sea shore...

So... out of interest... is this (title) a tongue twister used all over the world? Or is it a UK only thing!!?

Another quickie Narrow Note Card  from the By The Bay display... greeting from Home to Roost as it was out and it seemed more relevant to the little scene... 

Now... initially... this image had me stumped... and I definitely didn't see a sea shell... but more on that another day...

And this one does qualify for the Stampin' Up!  #simplestamping challenge... simple little Gray Granite stamping of the sea shell and greeting on Shimmery White card... Aqua Painter watercolouring of sand and sea using Sahara Sand and Pool Party

Simple... quick... but effective little card...

Mini Monday - By The Bay #3

Thanks for all your lovely feedback on my By The Bay makes over the last couple of days... so I have another... though just a quick post today... but I will be back with more details on these makes shortly...

This lovely little Narrow Notecard (a product which I had forgotten about for a while!!)... features the gulls in the stamp set... and a bit of Aqua Painter water colouring...

All set on another of the Rectangle Stitched dies Shimmery White card die cut... as it is the perfect size for these notecards...

Really love these gulls...

And this also almost counts as a #simplestamping card... for which Stampin' Up! have given us the brief of...  stamps, inks and paper (aka card) on a notecard...  just the die cut rectangle that stops it meeting the brief then! Oh well... excuse for another day then...

Though maybe after I have finished by accounts and tax return!!! Why oh why do I leave it all so late every year!!

Greetings From Santa Scene

And not a Santa in sight!!

This one proved to be a very popular Emboss Resist card.... all the images and greeting being from Greetings From Santa... so great to have these in there!

Masked snowline on a piece of Shimmer White card... white heat embossed tree, deer and snowflakes... Night of Navy baby wipe swoosh and baby wipe marbling... Night of Navy trees to left and right... then a dry tissue wipe to remove the ink off the embossed parts.

Finished off with the beautiful greeting in Night of Navy and ...though difficult to see... Silver Metallic Thread wrapped around about 5 times. All stick onto a Whisper White mat and then onto a small square card blank...

And yes for those of you that swapped with me at Quarterly Training... this is slightly different to the swap card... I simplified a couple of parts for bulk production purposes! Will share that one soon....
