It doesn't get any better then a penguin in a donut floatie, wearing a polka dot bikini, sipping a cool drink!
This fun interactive action wobble card was created with supplies from Tupelo Designs LLC where U.S. shipping is always free with no minimum purchase and international shipping is discounted.
I started by stamping the Whimsy Stamps "lazy days of summer" penguin stamp on Neenah cardstock with memento tuxedo black ink. I used my new Tonic Studios/Tim Holtz stamping platform to get a nice crisp image.
Spectrum noir alcohol markers were used to color this summery stamped image. I then cut out the colored image.
To create the background I used one of my favorite techniques the "smooshing" technique with distress crayon salty ocean and distress oxide ink broken china and a bit of water.
Whimsy stamps hand stitched rectangle die was used to cut out a panel from my smooshed background.
To make my layering card front the background panel was glued onto a 3.75X5 inch blue panel which was then glued onto a standard A2 sized aqua blue card base.
From my printer I printed the word "relax" from the same smooshed background. Cut that into a banner. with foam tape it was glued onto the card front.
Application of the action wobbler onto the back of the penguin and card was super easy thanks to the peel and stick that is already on the action wobbler.
My last finishing touch was 3 blue sequins.
A great summery card was created!

Hey all! Check out my design team project for Art Neko Stamps It's a masculine spotlight technique card featuring Art Neko’s Japanese Fishing Boat Silhouette stamp.
I know sometimes I struggle with making masculine cards this technique is a NO FAIL way to make a great masculine or really any card. All you have to do is stamp your image on white card stock I chose to use a 3.75X5 inch piece of cardstock and stamped my image right in the middle.
I placed a circle die on the image lower right just enough so I caught part of the image and part of white space, I ran it through my die cutter, removed the circle and water colored the circle with with distress inks tumbled glass, salty ocean and tea dye on the appropriate spots of the partial image on the circle.
I layered and glued the white card panel onto a medium blue card panel 4X5.25 inches then those 2 card panels were glued on a light blue card panel 5.5X4.25 inches. Now its time to replace that watered colored circle into the cut out circle(negative space), I like to use dry adhesive for this so there is no oozing of glue around the edges, I also make sure its not crooked.
Those layered card panels completed my card front so I then glued it onto a white standard A2 sized card base. I printed “Sail away with me” from my computer and cut that into 3.75 inch strip and glued it towards the top of my card so it is placed white on white. That’s it all done! It looks great and was super quick. In the words of my husband when I asked him his opinion of the card “I’d give that that to a dude if it didn’t say sail away with me” LOL.

It was My daughters 9th birthday June 24th, No I didn't forget her Birthday but at 2AM on the 24th I realized I forgot to make her a B-day card *YIKES* how could I forget that??! She'd only been "reminding" us EVERY day for over a month that her Birthday was Jun 24th. So at 2AM I pulled this card together, the background is a basic smooshing technique with distress inks with some FSJ silk splashes, the mermaid stamped image is from The Greeting Farm colored with spectrum noir and copic markers, the scalloped rectangle is a Lawn Fawn die, 9 balloon is from Shaggy Dog Tails stamp set. Her B-day was great and I took a nap later in the afternoon *LOL*
