Hi Bloggers.

Here's today's card -

For the background, I started by randomly stamping the Justrite Harlequin Script Background onto a piece of Milk Card using Cosmic Shimmer Sun-lit Cedar Colour Cloud Blending Ink applied with a Smoothie. I then stamped the crab from the Justrite Oceanside Oval Medallion Labels Stamp Set several times using Cosmic Shimmer Crimson Kiss Colour Cloud. Using the border from the Justrite At the Beach Oval Medallion Labels Stamp Set and Cobalt Archival, I stamped along the right hand side a couple of times. I ran my background through the Spellbinders Platinum Machine with the Creative Expressions Knotted Trellis Embossing Folder and then inked around the edges with Crimson Kiss Colour Cloud. I wrapped some Bakers Twine around the background a couple of times and then matted onto Deep Blue Card. I ran another piece of Milk Card through the Knotted Trellis Folder and inked around the edges to form another of my layers.

Istamped the lighthouse from the Justrite Oceanside Stamp Set onto Milk Card using Cobalt Archival. I cut it out using Justrite Nested Oval Medallion Die Set and inked through the die with Crimson Kiss Colour Cloud. I added a little more colour to the image by applying a little Crismon Kiss Colour Cloud to my Craft Sheet and picking it up with a Water Brush.

I stamped the sentiment from the Justrite Oceanside Stamp Set onto Milk Card using Cobalt Archival. I cut it out using another die from the Justrite Nested Oval Medallion Labels Die Set and inked through the die with Crimson Kiss.

Thanks for stopping by.
