I'm joining Veronica Zalis and her 2018 Stamping For Autism Awareness Blog Hop! Interested in learning more about Autism? Here's a link to the Mayo Clinic.
The theme for my cards is "words of Encouragement/Feel Good Sentiments":
You're Jawsome
My inspiration for this card is my friend Toni's design, disclaimer hers is a bit more 'graphic' than mine. As I was looking through my MFT stamps, I came across the Ocean Pals. I love the play on You're Awesome and then one thing led to another. I 'had' to use the Hero Arts Paper Layering Shark. I do have to admit that the googly eyes on mine are a bit creepy. When I was trying to take the photo, I swear it was staring at me...LOL.
I decided that I needed another card to even the balance and came up with this one that was inspired by a card I spotted on the a muse | studio Instagram feed.
It all started because I have a BOX full of stamps that I haven't inked up. One of them is the a muse | studio - Fierce set. I teamed it up with the Neat & Tangled Mermazing mermaid....she always makes me smile.

ReplyDeleteMost of the grand-girls would be a little scared of the shark, but there are a couple who would get a kick out of it! Especially the four-year old! It's a very cool card. And the watercoloring you've done is pretty perfect. And I do love the little mermaid. She's adorable, and the card's design is sweet. Both cards have sentiments perfect for this event, too.
