Hi there. I'm so glad you stopped by!
I used a smooshed mop up background from my stash to place behind the die cut circle
and a white gel pen to make the white dots.
So sorry to keep using retired products. I do wish these companies wouldn't discontinue items so fast!
Challenges:
Double D - Lighthouse (Welcome back to the Design Team, Leslie.)
Krafty Chicks #623 - Stamping (Lighthouse and birds are stamped)
Continuing down the shore...
A sweet friend sent me this 3D wave embossing folder that I used on a piece
of Inka Gold Smoosh in my stash.
The fish are from a new die and are cut from a piece of watercolor background
colored in yellows. There wasn't much of it left so I ended up with more
of the dark yellow than the light. Hopefully there's enough yellow for
the Memory Box Challenge. The sentiment is computer generated.
Challenges:
Four Seasons - Summer
Memory Box #87 - Yellow
Seize the Birthday #244 - No Stamping
NBUS #41 - Never Before Used Schtuff (Fish Die)

Your sweet and thoughtful comments warm my heart!
Your lighthouse is so handsome, Bonnie! I can hear the seagulls!
ReplyDeleteThese sweet little angel fish are perfectly yellow to my eyes and what a wonderful ocean you've created for them!

Your lighthouse looks so majestic looking out over the sea, Bonnie. What a steady hand to make those perfectly placed dots. The birthday fish are so cute and you made a great place for them to swim.

A majestic lighthouse to keep watch. So silent and serene on the landscape. This is a wonderful, variegated ocean for those happy fish! Gifts from friends are the best.
ReplyDeleteLOVE your lighthouse card Bonnie!! So CAS and so perfect, and I really like how you added the white dots around the circle for added interest and just the little pops of red on the lighthouse! And your fish card just couldn't be any sweeter! I love, LOVE that embossing folder and think I might need to check that out!! Two FABULOUS cards my friend!! Hugs. :0)
ReplyDeleteThis die is so perfect as water! Love your fish too. Thanks for joining in at STB
ReplyDeletetwo great cards Bonnie, love your peaceful lighthouse and the pretty underwater scenes.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the beautiful BD card ♥
That's a beautiful lighthouse card, Bonnie! A gentle background and overall CAS design. I love it and it's great to see you in the Double D gallery! Half of what I use is retired or old and probably retired, even some of my NBUS, sheesh. Now, those fish are another story. Fabulous on your watercolor smooshy embossed background! The fish and a bunch of things to go with them are sitting in my NBUS basket, sigh.
ReplyDeleteYour first card is so nice and traditional, I like how you used the circle. Your second card is also quite stunning, love the embossing folder and the red and blue, one of my favourite colour combos xx
ReplyDeleteBeautiful crisp lighthouse on card one and I love the fun fishes among the waves on card two, Bonnie!!
ReplyDeleteI like the touches of red on your marvelous lighthouse, Bonnie! I see plenty of yellow on the fish, it's a cute card!
ReplyDeleteTwo wonderful ocean theme cards. The first is sift and subtle… the second bright and beautiful.
ReplyDeleteI love the lighthouse card having a clean, marine-look, and the color combo of white and navy with a little pop of red, Bonnie! Great job of the evenly-spaced white gel pen dots! The smooshed mop up background makes perfect sky.
ReplyDeleteThe colors and embossed texture of the ocean are fantastic! The fish must be happy swimming there!

Loving the light house, I have yet to make some sea cards. Time is quickly disappearing. Your fishes are adorable and make for another darling card.
ReplyDeleteTwo brilliant sea themed makes Bonnie, and I love the blue tones with just a bit of added red on the lighthouse, and the sweet little fish are delightful on the second and the waves embossing folder makes a fabulous backgound using a prettily smooshed piece of card and love the clear dots you added for bubbles. x

ReplyDeleteTwo gorgeous cards Bonnie, love the lighthouse but the fish one is so cute! Love the embossed waves, it's the perfect background. Thankyou too for playing along at Seize the Birthday, Cathy x
ReplyDeleteI especially like the fish gurgling away in the ocean water. Can you hear them? I can hear them from here!

Both cards make a great impression. The first one is so elegant and dignified. Great perspective done and your sawn background looks perfect in a circle. In the second tab, I love the embossed background, these circles look great on the water. Your goldfish are perfect and their colors create such an amazing duet with the background colors. Two stunning cards, Bonnie.
