It’s Thursday, Create with Connie and Mary day!
We have a super great sketch to work with –
When was the last time you did some series fussy cutting? Me, not long ago because I just had to create this little stinker, no pun intended –
Isn’t this just adorbs? Such a fun, fun card! Could be wedding or good luck or even birthday, and it’s gender neutral!
I recently got both these sets. I was so inspired! But, there are not dies to go with it, only scissors.
Some nifty tips I used as I created this. The two circles were punched first, then embossed. The line of sequins – I glued them to a thin strip of card stock to keep them in a perfect line. The letters were stamped them individually cut out and glued down. The fishes and plants were also cut out, yes individually.
Lots of work. Lovely outcome. You agree?
Head on over to Create with Connie and Mary to see what the other fabulously talented designers created with the sketch. And PLAY ALONG with us! We love to see how you interpret our sketches!

I absolutely LOVE your take on this week’s challenge Libby! I recently got the fishy set too and can’t wait to use it. Give yourself a high five on this one! 🙂
Thanks so much Jennifer! I was so excited when I received it too!
Not sure why SU didn’t create a Framelit to go with this set! I love it, but does take a little more work cutting everything out! Your card is DARLING…love the details of the sequins an best fishes greeting! TOO cute! Great job with the sketch challenge this week!
I am very pleased with how this turned out! Thanks for leaving kind words!
Well, I was going to ask you how you colored your sequins red, white and blue…but it must be a reflection in the first photo! LOL! Very fun nautical card!
Sequins. So hard to photograph!!!
This is SO creative, Libby! I love how you used the sea grass to mimic the splatters in the sketch! I LOVE it all!!!!
Thanks, Jenny! I was pleased with the way it turned out!
