From Home to Sea

Wow -  can't believe it's been a week since I posted here - sometimes life just gets so busy!  I have been making cards for Split Coast Challenges however - so I thought I'd share a couple of them here today:

I made this one for last week's CAS challenge - a Pinterest Inspiration - a wonderful pic of the front of a house with white window frames - aqua shutters and yellow/red vines climbing up the building!

I used DP from PTI, my small Madison window and shutter dies and a sentiment from Lil' Inker Designs. I sponged all the edges with Pumice Stone Ranger Distress Ink. And I tucked a little lace curtain behind the top of the window!

My next card was inspired by this hilarious chicken ornament . from the Artful Home Website.

I used a fish named Groucho instead of a chicken (you can see the similarity in images right?!) - paper piecing him with dotted paper and coloring the rest with Copics. My stamps are from Rubbernecker

I added the ocean wave die cut from MFT and some faceted rhinestones for air bubbles!

I've got two blog hops coming up this week - on Thursday 11/15 I'll have a fun new template to show you from Creations by AR - and on Sat 11/17 I'll be participating in the Waltzingmouse Blog Party - the theme is 'gratitude' -  just in time for Thanksgiving (for those living in the US) come join us!

Thanks for stopping by today!
