Escape with Sweet micro Beads and Fabulous Trinity Paper Arts Surf and Swim Collection!

Hi!  I made this LO using the adorable paper from Trinity Paper Arts.  This collection is called Surf and Swim.  The Circles on this serene blue paper reminded me of the ocean.  One of my favorite beaches is Vero Beach in Florida.  This pic was taken last summer.  I used Micro Beads from Sweet Stamps along with Creative Inspiration Paint in blue and white, and Tuxedo black ink by Momento.  These great products can all be found at Sweet Stamps.  The Trinity Paper Arts collects can be found at Trinity Paper Arts.  

I mixed my micro beads with glitter and adhered them to my photo along the water break...really gave a cool effect.  The shine in the sky is achieved by painting on a then coat of Creative Inspiration Paint.  I also used the paint on the background for shine.  Hope you like it!

Sweet Bleaching!

This week I didn't get inky...I got bleachy with Sweet Stamp!  I have created a card using Stacey (the owners) adorable Butterfly's from her April Garden Release.  Hope you like it!!!
