A DAY OF PREP AND MALES..


Hello everyone..

Hope my title didn't scare you off, but I did have a good day last week or week before  with more prep and inking and making male cards..

I starting using some backgrounds which I shared weeks ago and then they just sat..


These ae some backgrounds you have seen..


Die cut fishing nets then sprayed...


And this is the left over from spraying..yummy and grungy..or for dirt in a garden scene...


Die cut and sprayed seahorses...


Left overs....can add to that.


Die cut and sprayed...and then sprayed some more as I LOVE green..




Die cut and smooshed into ink..


smooshed and sprayed left overs..


My world globes ie cut and sprayed..


Paper smooshed into ink leftovers..nice.


Die cut and sprayed, then smooshed..


And leftovers after sucking up the sop sop's..another lovely green..


And a card with the globe...


Just added lots of die cut details to layer it up..even Stanley the seagull showed up..


And another card for my stash, I have 11 male Birthdays in August and September so needed to get ahead..


And the last three cards for today, my Seahorse and plants and a background from the first picture using a stencil leftover piece of card....


Glass bubbles added and used gold Nuvo drops for the  porthole on this one..
and used a background paper to cut the porthole frame..


Last photo and so many, sorry about that..

So there we go, thank you so much for stopping by..

Luv CHRISSYxx

Love this fab post, Chrissy. Great to see all your prints before and after. Your male cards are just stunning. Love your porthole (just received my porthole die yesterday) and glad Stanley is present too.
Have a great weekend.

Chris said...

All your preparation and inking and dying of the die cuts really pays off Chrissy, the resulting cards here are stunning as always and I know there will be more treats to come using up the the 'leftovers' as amazing backgrounds.
