Sea turtle meets ink blending

 


I still love the ink blending techniques I taught in my March class. This one uses Azure Afternoon cardstock, Pool Party, Pretty Peacock, Coastal Cabana. I just laid two strips of masking paper (AKA Post-it notes) down about 1 1/2" apart,  and blended in between, then stamped the turtles in pool party, then came back with the detail stamp to give them a pretty peacock pattern. I stamped and fussy cut one of the turtles, and then popped him up on dimensionals to give it a bit of depth.

 This sentiment, Faith, is from the new unbounded Love bundle.

Seaside Wishes in Blues

Image
  I stamped and die cut lots of the images from the new Seaside Wishes Hybrid Embossing Bundle so I could play around with colors and layout.  The embossed background is basic beige, run through the Seaside Wishes Embossing Folder.  The blue dsp along the left edge is from Country Woods 12"x12" DSP.  I love this paper! I used Blending Brushes to add Pecan Pie & Crumb Cake to the sand dollar images on the top layer of the folder.  Then added the dies to emboss and cut at once.  The definition is really nice. The sand dollars have one dimensional in the center, then the outer edges are glued down.  I like how that adds just a bit of dimension. The sentiment is on a 2 1/4" x 3 1/4" piece of Basic White, then mounted on a 2 1/2" x 3 1/2" piece of Night of Navy. It was a lot of fun playing with this set!
