Hi Stampers ,
I have been working very hard on my swaps which are all now tagged and bagged ready for departure in the early hours of Wednesday morning !
This one is , I think , my favourite !
I began by stamping the flower and the leaf from the Peaceful Petals stamp set onto window sheet using black stazon . I then mixed crystal effects with some Bermuda Bay reinker and some Crushed Curry also with crystal effects and painted the flower . Then ,while still wet , I sprinkled some dazzling diamonds on it . Then I mixed Garden Green reinker and crystal effects and painted the leaves and also used dazzling diamonds on them . I then allowed them to dry before cutting out .
I stamped the sentiment in black stazon on my Whisper White art piece and , using Gorgeous Grunge and Bermuda Bay , Garden Green and Silver Encore inks I stamped the splatter. Used Finishing Touches Edgelets and Silver Sheets for a order to the Modern Medley DSP  and silver ribbon to finish. The final touch was to mix a teeny bit of Bermuda Bay reinker with crystal effects for water / dew drops for added effect . I hope you like this card as much as I do .
Now for my last card I did something totally new to me ! I took some Naturals White CS and wet it with my spritzer front and back . Then with my aqua painter I added ink !! I used Island Indigo and Bermuda Bay. I then threw on some laundry soaker and finally some table salt !! Do you see the pink areas ? That effect is achieved using the laundry soaker and the "splotchy " effect by the salt !! I allowed this piece to dry overnight , took my sanding block and sanded my art piece clean .Now I was ready to add my sea creatures and coral . The coral was heat embossed in white ; the sand was stamped with the splatter from Gorgeous Grunge , then dry embossed using the Woodgrain TEF , silver bakers twine was tied around this piece. Sea creatures were stamped in Stazon Black and clear heat embossed , then sponged using Rich Razzleberry , Crushed Curry and Wild Wisteria . Made bubbles with Crystal Effects mixed with Bermuda Bay reinker. Art piece was then mounted on Marina Mist CS. There you have it !! Those are my swaps and I made 80 all up so now you know why I have been a bit quiet lately !!

CONVENTION SWAPS CONTINUED
For this next card I used Shimmer CS , saturated it with hair spray , then stamped randomly with the floral image from Stippled Blossoms in Coastal  Cabana , Crisp Canteloupe and Pistachio Pudding. When this was dry I stamped the sentiment using Black Stazon in the bottom left corner.
I stamped onto CS Vellum with Gold Encore Ink and heat embosed with white EP the large flower from Peaceful Petals and a flower from Secret Garden .I coloured these on the wrong side with my aqua pen and reinker. The leaves and small flowers were coloured the same way. A few pearls  and I was done !!

CONVENTION SWAPS

Wow it's here !! This is the time of the year all of the S.U community gets excited - Convention !! I wanted this blog post to go live the day it starts so that I could share my swaps that I will be giving out today !!
I always make a few varieties because I tire of doing too much of the same thing !!
My first swap is Vintage themed. I took a piece of Naturals Ivory CS and stamped it using the clear block background technique and Crushed Curry , Coastal Cabana

and Basic Gray SW markers. Next , I stamped various images in Black Stazon . I then stamped the script from By The Tide in various places  and also the large flower image from Stippled Blossoms using Baked Brown Sugar - love how it looks like gold !!Then I took the Honeycomb TEF and inked parts of it up in Gold Encore ink and then heat embossed with Gold EP . I then ran the whole piece through using the same TEF. Using the Hive Die I cut some Eastern Elegance and Afternoon Picnic DSP and used pieces of this to place on my card .I then used some Crotchet Trim , Baked Brown Sugar and Coastal Cabana Ruffle Stretch Trim and some Gold  Baker's twine for my embellishment topped off with a Very Vintage Designer button which I have also gold heat embossed. I mounted this piece onto a piece of Basic Black CS so that the recipient can then mount the whole thing onto a coordinating card base of their choice . I hope you like my swap !!
