Mark’s Finest Papers

Here my card for today’s Blog Hop.
The set used here is “Fishing you were here” now available at Mark’s Finest Papers.
I did the bg with TH’s alcohol ink and ink blender. I love the way the colors made the bg look like water.
I inked the images and sentiment with Palette Noir black and colored the images with Copic markers. I then used some Crystal effects and line cut all of the fishes.
I inked the water weeds in a med. and dark green marker. The sand was made using TH’s distress EP. I then took some of the sea shells I’ve been saving for a mirror frame and added them to the bottom of the card. I also added some gems in different shades of green to create water bubbles.
I worked hard on this one so I hope you like it.

Mark’s Finest Papers

This is a card featuring some of the images and sentiments from the new set “Grandma’s Boudoir”. This set and three others are now available at Mark’s Finest Papers.
For the bg I used Mossy Sage and BG/Capella dp.
I inked the shoes direct to rubber using colored markers.
The rest of the card is pretty straight forward and I think needs no description.
If you have a question about any of the details please pm me.
I think this is a fun set with lots of vintage images and sentiments.
All of the supplies used on my card are available at Mark’s Finest Papers.

Good luck to all the Blog Hoppers, Nicky

Mark’s Finest Papers

For today’s Blog Hop I made this tissue box for my cousin’s Birthday. She is crazy about elephants and this new set “African Velt” available now with 3 other new sets at Mark’s Finest Papers.
This is a GORGEOUS set so make sure to check it out.
For the cs I used Snow White, China Blue Eyes and black.
I made the box out of solid white the layered on the blue and black panels.
I used a punch for the design on the lid and a round Nestie for the tissue hole.
The bottom border was created by using a punch and offsetting two layers of the black and blue to create a shadowed effect. Sorry, it does not show well on the photo.
For the main panel I inked the images in Palette Noir black and sponged some of the black around the edges.
I think that my cousin with like it with the matching card that I made last week for the Sneak Peek.
Good luck to all of the Blog Hoppers, Nicky

SCS challenge SC322 Mark's Finest Papers Sneak Peek for set "Fish You Were Here"

This is my card for today’s SC322 challenge.
Featuring a Sneak Peek set “Fish You Were Here” from Mark’s Finest Papers.
I used MFP’S Chine Blue Eyes, Markie’s Strawberry Milk and white cs.

The #1 panel has some sea weed and sentiment inked in a mid blue color.  Some brown sea leaves for panels #2 and 3.
For my #4 panel I inked an embossing folder “Tim Holtz” with a Spectrum ink pad. I love how it looks like a large coral and popped up my fish using dimensionals.
For #5 panel I chose a felt star fish.
To finish I added some blue gems to the sentiment and as air bubbles for the fishes.
