Shark Week 2026

 

 

 

Hello and welcome. Today I am participating in a shark week Instagram hop and for my card, I've used digital images from Sweet November Stamps. I started out by combining the following SNS digital sets: The Guppies: Sandcastle, Mermaid Lagoon Background Builder, Scuba Sarah, Shark Samba, Harbor Sunnyshore with Rocky, Jetty, Hopper and Manatee Mambo.  Before printing onto Hammermill white card stock, I added the Dance Hall sign to the sandcastle.

 

Once I had my scene printed out, I colored it using Ohuhu markers before blending Tim Holtz tumbled glass distress ink and caramel inks to help fill in the water and sand.  I then layered the image panel before adding sand dollar brads I've had for years and adhered it to a pacific pointe card.  Taking various dies and punches, I added the sea creatures before adding stardust stickles to highlight the water.  A white gel pen highlights all of the bubbles.

 

Did you know there are 400+ species of sharks with some weighing up to 11 tons.  Many shark, and ray, species are threatened with extinction due to over fishing and the demand for their fins. (Information from World Wildlife Fund).

 Sheepski Designs 

Hello and welcome.  Today begins a new challenge at Pammie's Inky Pinkies and this week we're sponsored by Sheepski Designs.  I would like to thank Andrea for her sponsorship and for providing image for the design team to use.

 

After printing my beach huts image, I dug out my Castle Arts colored pencils and colored the image before stippling some leftover stormy sky distress ink from another project around the edges.  I then layered the image panel, added brads, and adhered it to a dry embossed card.  Taking an old Stampin Up© seasons stamp set, I stamped Summer onto some scrap white card stock and adhered that using pop dots.  I'm pretty happy with how this turned out.

Christmas Lighthouse Shadow

 

Hello and welcome. Today I'd like to share with you a shadow box I made for this quarters Conjurer of Dreams Summer challenge.  The challenge theme is - seaside shadow boxes.  For mine, I decided to go with a Christmas seaside theme using a wooden box I found at Dollar Tree© a few months ago.

 

I started out by painting the box using a light blue acrylic paint before printing the Stained Glass Lighthouse three times as a 5x7 image.  Once the printing was finished, I laid the box down on one of the printed images and traced around it before cutting out.  I then adhered the trimmed pieces using Mod Podge before adding some Snow Tex along the inside.  After that I added the lightpost, sled, snowman and trees by setting them in the Snow Tex©.  I then added a battery operated votive, light down, on top using hot glue to hold it in place.  The final touches were adding more Snow Tex© on top of the moss and along the sides of my shadow box.  

 

Box with the votive light on:

 

I'm really happy with how this turned out.
