Mini Album-Sea Notes

Hello everyone! It's Amber here today sharing a fun little canvas mini album for this weeks Mixed Media Monday. A few months ago Dana shared this fabulous little Bird Canvas Mini Album and I just loved it. So I thought it would be fun to create one of my vary own with a few different stamp sets from the PWP Shop.

I started by taking the mini album apart and laying each page flat onto an old piece of cardboard. After I had all my pages laid out I took two different Close To My Heart Ink Refills and added a few drops to my spray bottle that had some water in it. I mixed the colors in the water bottle and then randomly sprayed each of my pages. After all my pages were completely dry I added my stamping and embellishments.

For the front page of my little mini album I used the little mermaid from the Sea Melange Cling Stamp Set and the Sunburst Pattern Clear Stamp Set for my background. After I had my images stamped I added a little label that I stamped with "Notes" from the Snapshot Framer Clear Stamp Set and attached it with some washi tape and a staple.

For the second page of my mini album I just stamped the wonderful quote "She stood in the storm and when the wind did not blow her away she adjusted her sails" from the Sea Melange Cling Stamp Set. It's a little hard to see but I also added some background stamping with the Scared Geometry Clear Stamp Set. 

For the third page of my mini album I stamped the ship in black and added some washi tape and a little heat embellishment.

For the forth page of my mini album I took this cute little frame from Elle's Studio Love You More Collection and added a little photo and journaling to it. I also added some background stamping to this page as well but its really hard to see in this photo.

For the fifth page of my mini album I stamped the quote "Hark, now hear the sailors cry. Smell the sea and feel the sky. Let your soul and spirit fly into the mystic." from the Sea Melange Cling Stamp Set.

For the last page of my min album I took a few of the little fish from the Sea Melange Cling Stamp Set and randomly stamped them across my page. The little air bubbles are from the Mermaid Clear Stamp Set, I thought it would be cute to make it look like they were under the sea. Thanks for joining me today and I hope you enjoyed my little mini album today!

Sea Melange Tag

Hello PWP Fans!  Norma here with you and I've got summer on my mind.  I'm so tired of winter aren't you?!  When the weather warms up, we head to the beach.  It's one of my all time favorite places to be.  There is something so magical about the sea, it seems to just make the rest of the world just fade away and transports you to a place of complete tranquility.  Well at least that's what it does for me, lol.  So today "What's up" is Sea Melange!!

I created this tag using the beautiful Sea Melange stamp set along with this month's set of the month, Vintage Melange. 

I started out by stamping a collage of images on the background then spraying it with Lindy's to add color and shimmer.  The ship is on the Sea Melange set and the gorgeous flourishes (which I love) is on the Vintage Melange set.

Next I pulled out some Vintage Photo and Peacock Feathers Distress Inks to add another layer of interest using the Tim Holtz Clockwork stencil.  I just rubbed both colors over the stencil.  It makes it look like the sun shining through the water.

I colored in the mermaid with Prismacolor pencils.  They're my favorite medium for coloring in stamped images.  I go heavy along the edges then pull the color out using a Prismacolor colorless blending marker.  I also like layering several colors when coloring.  I think it really helps bring the image to life.

Once I cut her out, I started playing with placement but nothing was really working for me.  So my solution was to give her a place to sit.  I found a shell and applied a light layer of gesso to it then spritz it with Lindy's.  After it was dry, I stamped some of the fish to it and glued it on.  I also added a tassel made of shells.  I cut it off of a plant hanger that I'd picked up at Goodwill awhile back.  I was gonna use it for my gypsy Halloween costume but I never used it.

Oh yes, much better!!  

I used one of the quotes on the Sea Melange set:  She stood in the storm and when the wind did not blow her away, she adjusted her sails. ~Elizabeth Edwards

Here is a closer look at the ship.

Feature Friday: Featuring Vintage Clip Art Sheets

Hi Cathi here for Feature Friday!! I want to feature the Clip Art Sheets for this post, but have also used 8 different stamp sets as well!!! I took the gorgeous Prima Delight 6x6 papers from the November Nesting Components Kit. to use for my backgrounds and built up the details of my background using numerous stamps from Paper Wings Productions.

The first card features an image from the Winged Things Clip Art Sheet.  For my sentiment I used a great stamp from the Stars Cling Stamp Set. For the background I used postmark and script stamps from the Text Melange Cling Stamp Set, then took my gelatos and used the Art Textures Cling Stamp Set and stamped some gorgeous polka dot texture with a real watercolor effect that you get when you stamp with them. I finished off the card with some Prima Bark Stars, lovely flowers, some May Arts burlap ribbon and some cheesecloth.

For my second card I took the beautiful image from the Spring Flowers Clip Art Sheet. Again, I took my gelatos and used the Art Textures Cling Stamp Set. I added a clock from the Worldly Women Melange 2 Cling Mounted Stamp Set repeatedly on the background. I then used the A Banner Day Clear Stamp Set to make the sentiment. I finished the card off with a few flowers and a doily.

I had a lot of fun with this last card. The vintage image comes from the Summer Clip Art Sheet. Again I used the Art Textures Cling Stamp Set with my gelatos, using the blue with the polka dot texture to make it look like more bubbles! The sentiment is from the Kind Words Cling Stamp Set. I used the starfish and shell stamps from the Sea Melange Cling Stamp Set in the background to add to the design. Finally on the vintage image I took the stamp and postmark from the postcard stamp in the Writing Backgrounds Cling Stamp Set to make the image look like an old postcard. I really love how that looks!! I love blue and brown together and I think it suits a beach theme perfectly. I added some gorgeous teal and brown flowers, some shells and some cheesecloth.

Themed Thursday- Sea Malange

Hello everyone, It's Amber here with this weeks Themed Thursday post! Hope you all had a wonderful time with the family yesterday! Today I will be showing you a card I created with the large Sea Malange Cling Stamp Set that can be found in the shop HERE. I used three different stamps form the set, two images and one sentiment.

This is another one of my favorite sets because of all the different images, there 11 stamps to choose from in this stamp set. For this card I used the beautiful mermaid as my focal point by adding my blue cardstock and patterned paper around her. I also used one of the two sentiments from the set and stamped it directly onto my patterned paper.  For a fun touch I stamped one of the adorable little fish onto a white tag and added it to the left side of my card with a bow. You can see a close up of these below.
