In my last post I used the whale from Just Keep Swimming and I tell you, he's a lot of fun to use to create a scene! I used Gathered Garden because some of the stamps in the set reminded me of kelp and seaweed. I also decided to resurrect an older stamping tool, the eyelet, to symbolize the bubbles that might rise to the surface if the whale were down there and following the color scheme of the challenge photo. I can tell you that if you lose one portion of the eyelet setting tool set and try to improvise, you might bang your finger with a hammer. Just sayin'....
For my second card I completely CASEd Kay Miller's idea with the Gathered Garden set layout, although I used the colors from the challenge photo. Makes a great one-layer card!
I have one other idea, but strangely the family wants dinner so I have to go cook now!
Thanks for looking and happy hopping!

How clever to use the pattern paper on your whale and the eyelets for bubbles! Super cute!
Love the whale in your first card and the eyelet bubbles! so clever! Great design on your second card masking the bottom so only half of the stampings show - great inspiration from the photo!

The first card - oh my! So creative and fun for the hop. The eyelet bubbles are a perfect touch. The 2nd card - I really like that masked line. I've always loved that look on cards. Great takes on the inspiration!!

Wonderful cards! Love the pretty stamped florals! Great take on the challenge!
Peggysue, I love both of your gorgeous and creative cards! So sad that I can't pin them.
Hi Cindy! Thanks so much for your comment...I see a pin button in the top lefthand corner of the photos for the cards. If I click on it, it asks me which board I'd like to pin the photo to...so I apologize if you don't see it. Maybe it shows up on some browsers and not others?
Wowzer! The first card is so creative & adorable & I'm in love with the second one which I now need to case!
Love both of your fab cards.
Love the under the sea card!
Peggysue, thanks for your reply, but there's no Pin in the top corner. I am able to pin from other's sites by clicking on the red P that appear in the top left corner. I'll look for for your cards on the Pinterest site. They're both so wonderful :)
Beautiful cards!!! I'm especially loving the whale!
