Hi everyone!
I’m over on the Topflight Stamps blog today joining you with a simple card to usher in the summer!
The stamp set I’m using today comes from Crafty Individuals – it’s called By The Sea and is filled with fun seaside images.
To create my card, I die cut a panel of Bristol Smooth cardstock – this cardstock is great for blending watercolor ink / paint – today I’m using Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers. I then stamped one of the deckchairs from the stamp set in black waterproof ink and heat set it.
I then masked off a square panel with masking tape and used my brush markers to create a sunset over a sea, very simply, overlapping and blending each color into the next. I didn’t mask off the deck chair, I just colored round the edges. I held my hand over the deckchair and spritzed the background with shimmery spray lightly. I then removed the masking tape and used some simple coloring to the chair, and some shadows underneath. I stamped the sentiment in grey ink underneath and added a glitter heart so it says ‘love’ By the Sea.
I popped the entire panel up on foam tape onto a woodgrain panel card base. Super simple but really fun to create! I hope you like it! You can find more details on the supplies I used below.
Have a wonderful day.
Jenny
