Happy Holiday Fishes and Lake Side Birthday - KSS

I have a couple of Kitchen Sink Stamps sponsored cards to share with you today. The first one is a Christmas card created for the 52 Christmas Card Throwdown August Challenge  whose theme is Under the Sea. 

This holiday card uses images from Giant Coral and Seahorse Multi Step Clear Stamps and Tropical Fish Multi Step Clear Stamps. The fun sign is an SVG file made for the Trout Fishing set also available from Kitchen Sink Stamps. 

After creating the background water using the Cloud Edger Stencil and the Sea Foam Stencil from A Colorful Life Designs, I stamped the giant coral using Distress Oxides Inks from Ranger. I then added the sandy ocean floor and holiday sign before popping up the seahorse and tang fish on top. I them embellished with Christmas lights and holly stickers from the Paper Studio. The sand dollar and starfish at the bottom were created with Cuttlebug dies. The seaweed was punched with the Martha Stewart fern punch.

This second card is a summer masculine birthday design using images from Kitchen Sink Stamps' Birch Bark Canoe Multi Step Clear Stamps, Seaside Seagull Multi Step Clear Stamps, Isle of Big Bay Lake Multi Step Clear Stamps, and Make a Big Statement Clear Stamps. The die cut chair is by Impression Obsession and the die cut rope is from Beachfront Seagulls by Memory Box.

Thank you so much for visiting here today.
