Black Tie Friday



One of my all time favorite stamps is the water droplet stamp by Ryn Tanaka. I have used it often. In fact she has come out with new versions of it, I have ordered some, but the order has not yet arrived. Everyday when I check my mailbox I am disappointed - not yet here.... Well, they are coming from Canada - hail to snail mail.....

So when Black Tie Friday had this theme "under the sea" I had to pull this stamp out again. 





I used a Cuttlebug Embossing Folder and sponged it with distress inks. I put little enamel dots on the droplets and used some Washi Tape. The sentiment is by Amuse. I also put Stickles onto the Koi, but it does not show very well...

This is beautiful! I had no idea this was a stamp. It looks 3d and with a shadow.

This card is stellar. I love the dimension that your droplets of water have, it really brings your coy to life. Thank you for playing with Black Tie Fridays.

Dynamic Duos combined with CAS Colours and Sketches

I am getting the hang of combining challenges....not sure if that's good or bad... In the past I would just put all my "creative energy" into one challenge and then just link up with others, if the card just happened to fit...but now I do that on purpose. Well, I'll see how it goes....                           Anyhow here is the card that came out of this: I did not want to add a sentiment - I 'll add it later, when I know who will get it.
