Make a Splash

Hi Bloggers.

Thanks for all your comments and emails yesterday. Glad you enjoyed the shows.

Here's a demo card from yesterday (sorry about the picture quality) -

For the background, I used Coconut White Card. I stated by randomly inking through the Grid Mask using Antique Linen Distress Ink. Then, with the stamp in my hand, using the same ink pad, I randomly stamped the Justrite Garden Gate Background. Finally, I stamped the starfish from the Justrite At the Beach Oval Medallion Labels Stamp Set, again using Antique Linen. I made sure the ink was dry and then ran it through the Grand Calibur with the Couture Creations Chiaro Embossing Folder. I ran it through a second time to extend the design (this is a repeating pattern) and then inked around the edges with Antique Linen.

I stamped the main image from the At the Beach Set using Perfect Medium and embossed with Cosmic Shimmer Olympic Gold Lustre Embossing Powder. I cut it out using Justrite Nested Oval Medallion Labels Dies and inked through the die with Antique Linen.

I stamped the sentiment from the Creative Expressions Warmest Wishes Stamp Set using Perfect Medium and embossed with Olympic Gold Lustre. I cut it out using Spellbinders Standard Circles Large and inked through the die with Antique Linen.

I stamped a couple of the shells from the At the Beach set and the Starfish using Perfect Medium and embossed with Olympic Gold Lustre. I cut them out using scissors and added them to the card using 3d Foam.

I assembled the card as shown adding some dots of Cosmic Shimmer Pearlescent PVA in Golden Pearl around the edges.

Thanks for stopping by.
