Happy Sunday! Another month comes to a close, which means I get to share my projects for The 12 Kits of Occasions. This month our friend Kim put together a darling Under and Over the Sea themed kit. I used almost all of it, and have just a couple unfinished cards left. I spent a day coloring the images with colored pencils, and then the cards pretty much put themselves together. First up is a card using Essentials by Ellen Otterly Awesome set.
This mama and papa otter are die cut to hold something, and it seemed like a little otter was just the perfect thing to be holding. With all the card making and sending I do, sometimes I forget to make cards and send them to my own kiddos. This week got me thinking that I need to be better about that, so this one's for my son.
I chose my favorite colors for the first mermaid and my daughter's favorite colors for the second....I should probably give her this card, too. :)
Oh, this pile of cards just makes me SO happy! It also makes me want to shop since I don't have any of these stamps in my own stash. Lol. That really is the only downside of these kits...my wish list always seems to grow after using them.
So much cuteness in this post Lindsey. You can never go wrong with a shaker card and those little mermaids make the perfect shakers. Love that little family of otters enjoying their snuggle time together. Sweet as can be!! Your littles will be thrilled all over to get some love in a card from mom.
ReplyDeleteLindsey...these are so as sweet as can be! Love the soft sweet colors you used to color your images, just so pretty! Your mermaids are adorable and I'll bet Meg can't wait to get her hands on them. Your adorable pool girl is over the top cute, love that pretty in pink polka dot swimsuit! Love that you made a shaker card too, just so fun. Looks like you had a blast!
ReplyDeleteLindsey just as I knew each and every card is so perfectly coloured and put together. Beautiful mermaids, love how you blended the green and blue together on the tail and then rested her on the faux shaker! Your sweet girl is going to love this. All lovely xoxo
ReplyDeleteSuch cute and fun cards, Lindsey. I love them all, especially how you did your coloring and how you used the patterned papers.
ReplyDeleteThese are so, so adorable, Lindsey! Your mermaids are colored so perfectly with such wonderful backgrounds. How sweet that your otters are in a cozy family group. And the patterns and colors for your little sunbather are wonderful. Love the polka dot swimsuit!
ReplyDeleteYour darling cards will make those sweet kiddos smile from ear to ear, Lindsey... I sure know they had that affect on my face!

These are all so sweet, Lindsey ... and your colouring is fantastic! Like you, I'm also taken by that 'oceans of love' mermaid ... she's so shimmery! Hugs, Anita :)
ReplyDeleteSo much sweetness in these cards Lindsey! Your kids will enjoy them as much as we all do. I love the dies you've used on the mermaid cards. Every time I see someone use them it reminds me how much I like them and that I really need to buy them!!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful cards Lindsey! I love the clean layouts with the pattern backgrounds. The white on white background for the mermaid is stunning! So clean and elegant! The ombre tag for the otters is rich and yummy and the little windows / shakers for the mermaids adds depth and sparkle just like water! Beautiful summery cards fit for a princess! I love them all!
ReplyDeleteOh... your coloring is absolutely beautiful ,Lindsey!! Loving the window cards with each Mermaid wishing I used more of the smaller images in my cards . Clean layouts and beautiful cards. Bet Meg loves them too! Sending love, hugs, and blessings to everyone in you house!
