While there is nothing funny about not feeling well...

Wally Whale is sure to bring a smile!

Nola Chandler is the artist behind this adorable image. In order to have the Get Whale Soon pair up closely to him, I masked the water spout before stamping so it would not show. 

The shaker frame is easy to make using IO's All-in-One Squares 2!

IMPRESSION OBSESSION DT THURSDAY

Hi there and welcome to IODT Thursday!

Today I am sharing with you a Z card.

These are simple and fun to make. I went with 3 panels but they can be as long as you like!

I started with a 13 1/4 x 4 1/4 sheet of white linen for the base.

Score at 4 1/4, 4 1/2, 8 3/4, and 9.

I wanted to pop some of the layers so I made the spine 1/4 inch to accommodate the extra bulk.

 The foral stamps are from Lindsay Ostrom. Each image is darling and great for a trio or individually. The sentiments are from the clear set called Flower Pots. This set includes 9 floral bouquets the pot ands 4 sentiments!

The colorful papers are from EP Hello Spring and Doodlebug Petite Prints. The images were colored with Copics. Glossy Accents was added along with bows tied in a baby fork! Bakers twine was used along the spines and tied with bows on the back.

The closed book measures 4 1/2 x 4 1/2.

Need a card in a hurry or like to make several to have on hand? 

Using a BG stamp and adding a sentiment or die cut makes it easy!

The NEW Shell Background is filled with detail.

For fun it has been stamped with 3 different ink colors from IO, which will be listed below.

The starfish die cut is from the Shell Set. Distress Oxide ink was used and spritzed with water.

Lindsay Ostrom has done it again with her adorable sea life images!

I used three of here new stamps to create the underwater scene. After stamping  I masked the images with eclipse tape and colored the BG with Copics. To achieve the water texture, blending solution was used on an old towel. The images were then colored with Copics. Glossy Accents and Spectrum Noir Crystal Clear was used to add extra detail.
