Sequin Seahorse

Hello! I am in absolute LOVE with the brand new Cricut Design Space App for iPad! It's awesome and FREE! Yay! It is beyond simple to use as well. For my first card made using the Cricut Design Space App, I bought this pretty seahorse image from the Anna Griffin Summer Soirees cartridge. OH and buying that image from my iPad was incredibly simple! Anyhoo, I attached the seahorse image to a rectangle so I could use the negative space. And they my favorite part, gluing the sequins. 

As usual, I used glossy accents to glue down the sequins. Eek! I love this pretty seahorse. And I seriously super love the new Cricut Design Space App! So fire up your iPad and head to the App Store. :)

I'm really excited to watch the launch of the new Cricut Explore Air machine on HSN tonight at Midnight Eastern. {9 Pacific time} A lot of folks are having a cow about Cricut releasing another new machine...but there's no need to birth bovines! ;) The improvement on the Cricut Explore Air is built in wireless capabilities. So, if you've already got the original Cricut Explore machine, you just need to snag yourself a blue tooth adapter. Easy peasy.

p.s. Also. the new App sorta reminds me of having a Gypsy. Except it's about a bajillion times awesomererer. :)

Hi Buddy! My own SVG with the Cricut Explore

Hello! I am SOOOOO happy with this card! I used my Cricut Explore and Design Space to make my own SVG from an image. I've always loved Mr. Narwhal from Elf, so I made my own version of him using a photo that I found on google. I used the Explore to cut out the shape I wanted, and then I drew in the lines to make my own "stamp". I used the Kawaii Face Assortment for his eye, and the Squee Face Assortment for his mouth. Both awesome sets from PeachyKeenStamps. I colored him with my Prismacolor colored pencils and blended out with OMS/gamsol. I went over his eye and eyebrow with a black sakura glaze pen. 

I colored in his horn {which is really a tooth that only male narwhal's have} with a wink of stella clear glitter marker...and then added glossy accents to it. I inked the sky with tumbled glass distress ink, and added snow with my sakura white gel pen. Mr. Narwhal's line in Elf is, "Bye Buddy. Hope you find your Dad."....but I made this a hi card. I used the Claire's ABC's set from Lawn Fawn to make the greeting. I also added wink of stella to the snowy iceberg in front of Mr. Narwhal. :)
