Helloooo Everyone!
It's time again for another release! Geez, the weeks are just flying by! Can you believe it's almost August!? Because it's still summertime, why not beat the heat with some of our new images that know all about keeping cool...
First up is our new Dolphin Set! Yes, you get two dolphin images in this set!! Woo Hoo! Here's some samples I made for the stores...
I immediately thought "shaker card" when I started planning my samples for this release. I guess the microbeads remind me of bubbles and the acetate reminds me of a tank. You'll be seeing the same type of cards over the next few days.
Ok... i know my flash is distracting in this one.. SORRY! I need photography lessons. Anyway, here's one of the first ones I made...
For all of the backgrounds, I used watercolor paper and sprayed them using my Lindy's Stamp Gang sprays. It was fun playing with all the different colors. On the next card, I decided to try embossing the acetate to see what type of effect it would give. I chose the large dots since it also reminded me of bubbles. It's hard to see with the flash, but I also stamped "You're a great friend" using a Hero Arts stamp.
I guess I feel like these little dolphins are friends and are talking to each other. Now I'm not one who normally likes dolphins, but I loved this squished down version a lot! I begged my sister to draw up some sea creatures and was so happy that she made them look like babies! Here I embossed the acetate using an old favorite. I think it's a cuttlebug waves embossing folder- one of the first ones I ever bought! All the microbeads are by Martha Stewart Crafts.
Another note about our new friends... I sized them so that you can use them with our mermaid stamps too! I think ever maid needs friends right?
So do you want a set of your very own? Well, here's your chance to win one! Here's the rules:
1) leave a comment on THIS POST by 07/31/13 11:59pm HST; and
2) tell me if you have a favorite sea creature. I'm really not sure if I have one. Personally I think i would get scared if I got too close! You would totally laugh at me if you saw me at Hanauma Bay!
Love those dolphins, it's great that you can turn them at any angle and they still look like it's the way they're supposed to be!
ReplyDeleteI think my favorite sea creature is the seahorse.
These dolphins are so cute. I serious love all sea creatures, even the scary ones like sharks! Snorkeling is one of the main reasons I love to visit Hawaii. My husband and I once followed a pod of dolphins via car and tried to jump in the water to catch a glimpse of them up close up near Makaha. Haha...crazy!
ReplyDeleteOMG those are AWESOME!!!!! Love your shaker cards! I would love to try those but I am kind of scared for some odd reason!! lol lol
ReplyDeleteMy FAVE sea creature is the SEA HORSE!!! Love them!!! I have a very Eclectic display of sea horses on my main wall in the bathroom. Have collected them from ALL over!!! I am loving this new release!!! Hugs, Heidi
No, no favorite sea creature. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for the chance to win.
Awe those dolphins are really cute! I love Sea World and that's about as close to dolphins as I am getting too! I will have to say Dolphins are my favorite sea creature!
ReplyDeleteI don't think I would want to be up close & personal with a real sea creature, but pics, stuffed animals, etc would be ok. In that case, I love the dolphin!
ReplyDeleteJust love this pair of dolphins ~ they look like they are having such fun!!
What adorable dolphins!!!! I love how they are looking at each other :D I don't have one particular favorite sea creature - I love them all when they are kawaii!
ReplyDeleteDon't have any favorite sea creature. Never got up close with a dolphin, but they sure are nice to watch from afar. :)
ReplyDeleteI love how you made a shaker card! Too cute! I love seals! From afar of course!Lol:)
ReplyDeleteLove these and embossing the acetate is a great idea!! Love the new stamps!
ReplyDeleteAw, these dolphins are adorable!!
ReplyDeleteLOL. You sound like me. I think the dolphins would be my favorite. They seem gentle. Love the cards and your stories.
ReplyDeleteAwww cute dolphins! I <3 dolphins! And seals. And turtles. And whales. And manatees. LoL.
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure what my favorite sea animal is, but if i probably had to pick it would be dolphins, since they look so cute.
ReplyDeleteI don't have a favorite sea animal although i'm entranced when I do spot one.
ReplyDeleteCute dolphin card. I hope to make a shaker card one day. My favorite sea creature is a stingray.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely cards with the dolphins.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite animal/sea creature is the little Seahorse.
But I also like dolphins and whales toooo.
Adorable pair of dolphins...love to see them in action (great idea for the shaker card)! Have not been up close and personal, but think I could handle it with a dolphin as they even help people in distress in the water. I like most sea creatures, so no favorite...maybe a KOI.
