Keep Calm and Float On

Well, Craft Roulette was an easy one last night and no one really seemed to be too worried about what they were going to make. The wheel gave us:

Project: 4 x 8

Colors: Mountains

Element: Floats(s) or Floating

Random: Water

I cut a 4" x 8" white card base. My colors include blue and green for mountains and purple, orange and yellow for wildflowers around the mountains. I have my floating ladies and they are on a lazy river!

I CASEd myself from about a year ago when I made another lazy river using stamped pool floats and what look like water ballet swimmers to me. I forgot about these floating ladies on big palm fronds that I got in the dollar spot at JoAnn Fabrics a couple of years ago.

Products I used:

My Favorite Things: Tropical Leaves dies

Sugar Pea Designs: Wave stencil

Place and Time: Floating girls

Avery Elle: Sentiment from Splash stamp set

Copic markers

Altenew: Obsidian Blank ink pad

Distress ink pads

Concord and 9th: Mini ink pads

Bearly Arts: Glue

Picket Fence: Bubble Blowout Embellishment Mix

Foam tape

I ink blended a half sheet of white cardstock with green inks, then cie cut a lot of leaves! I stamped my sentiment and floating ladies, then colored and fussy cut them. 

I ink blended a 4 x 8 piece of white cardstock with green inks on the edges and blue in the center. Then stenciled over the blue with a darker blue ink to add the waves. I arranged the die cut leaves along the two long edges of my lazy river panel and when I was happy with their placement I adhered them with glue. I cut off any leaves that were hanging off the edge of the panel and used some of those leaf pieces to fill in my existing leaves on the edge.

I popped up the floaters and sentiment on foam tape. Last, I added the bubbles.

Have you looked into Craft Roulette? It really helps you use your stash and often find things you have but haven't used in a while.

I hope you are having a nice weekend and that you get to be crafty at some point!
