Here are something new for you and I hope they inspired you somehow :) I had total of 5 cards for this release but today I'll share 4 cards that are beach or summer theme using
Jawsome,
Ocean Friends,
Sunny Smiles,
Mermaid Lagoon and
Summer Vibin stamps along with
Ocean Border dies and
Island dies.
Here they are....
I couldn't help to make this Mantra Shark from
Jawsome stamp doing some meditation on top of the wave from
Ocean Border dies. I did some masking at the top left for the moon with antique linen distress ink and used the negative mask to make the sky with tumber glass, salty ocean and chipped sapphire distress inks.. I also die cut the wave die from
Ocean Border and inked it with Distress Oxide inks in
broken china and
cracked pistachio.
I colored the mantra shark with copic markers and fussy cut him out. As always, I used
Crazy Stitched Frame dies cut decorative my edges and finished it off by dropping Nuvo Crystal Drop in
Buttermilk
I used both wave and the coral dies from
Ocean Border dies to cut from white card stock and colored the coral border piece with copic marker. I used the negative piece of the wave border dies and distress it with tumber glass distress ink. I then used
Crazy Stitched Frame dies to but both pieces for decorative edges before adhered them both top and bottom onto some acetate sheet that cut to A2 size card front. In sperated white card stock I distressed the ocean background with Distress Oxide Ink in
cracked pistachio,
broken china and
faded jeans. I stamped the dolphin from
Ocean friends stamp on top of the wave and stamped the mermaid, fish, seahorse and seashel from
Mermaid Lagoon stamp on white card stock. I colored them with copic markers and fussy cut them out.
I mounted the whole panels both background and acetate sheet onto black card based and finished it off by dropping Nuvo Jewel Drop in
Key Lime.
I played around with the die cut borders and think it's a good idea to make a sand dune from
Garden Border dies and tucked in all those cute elements like coral from
Ocean Border Dies, Seashell, Starfish and Seahorse from
Island Dies. I colored the adorable zebra and beach umbrella from
Sunny Smiles stamp with copic markers. For the cloud, I used
Stitched Scallop dies and the sentiment bannner from
Flag Banner dies. I inked up the cloud with distress oxide ink in
worn lipstic. The sky and sea I used distress oxide inks in
broken china and
crack pistachio. I inladed all the main pieces together and then used
Crazy Stitched Frame dies to cut my decorative edges.
I finished it off by dropping Nuvo Crystal Drop in
Caribbean Ocean.
I set my scene with this adorable unicorn in the unicorn float :) from
Summer Vibin. Before I did any background, I cut the panel with
Island dies as well as some craft card stock for later inlaid it in. I ripped the printing paper for the unsmooth edge and began to did my background with distress oxide inks in
broken china and
cracked pistachio. I then inlaid the island die cut piece back and used
Crazy Stitched Frame dies for decorative edges. I also did cut the coconut tree from
Island dies with some scrap paper I have around.
I also cut the starfish from
Island dies and dropped Nuvo Crystal Drop in
Apple Green and Nuvo Jewel Drop in
Key Lime.
Oh that's alot for today. I hope you like them and Thank you for reading up until here. :) I'll be back tomorrow for my last card.
