MCT 32st Edition Release Blog Hop

Hello! I hope you're having fun hopping! You should have arrived from Katie's blog, if not, head HERE to start at the beginning. :) For my first card I stamped the seaweed and seahorse {I colored the seahorse with distress markers} from the new set called Surf's Up. I stamped them before inking in the water. What I did is what I'm going to call permanent masking. I went over the stamped images with glossy accents and let it dry. After it was dry, I used my distress inks to make the water scene. It's not perfect, but it's pretty good. ;)

Here you can see the shine from the glossy accents. I did it this way because it would be borderline impossible to cut masks that little. {and I'm not interested in going blind or getting arthritis} ;) The greeting on this card is from the new set called Sit Back & Relax. And here is another quick card I made for this hop...

For this card I started with the Stitched 3x4 Journal Die. Then I cut the rainbow talk bubble with the die in the Speech Bubble Sentiments Stamp set. 

I used the thanks die from the new Happy Thoughts set to cut my greeting. The sweet little birdie is cut from the die in the Hello Chickie Stamp Set. Her face is from the Chickie Face Assortment from PeachyKeenStamps.

Your next stop on the hop is Lee-Ann
