OMG! This card is Gorgeous IRL!! The blended colors are just stunning, and then add the detail of the Gentle Waves stamp, punched Sail Boat, little seagulls, and vellum clouds. Just awesome!
Measurements:
- Basic White:: 1/2 sheet, 4" x 5 1/4"
To Make This Card:
- Begin by creating your blended background on the smaller White piece.
- First, stamp the Gentle Waves in Bermuda Bay ink. I stamped approx the lower third of the piece of cardstock. With my larger stamps, I like to use my Stamparatus!
- Beginning at the "top", blend in So Saffron ink with a Blending Brush. Next, add Mango Melody, overlapping in to the Saffron just a little bit. Then, add Flirty Flamingo down to the stamped "waves". Also, overlapping just a little bit. Finish with Bermuda Bay ink, again overlapping a little into the Flamingo (which creates a neat light purple effect!) And, voila, you are done! Oh, and brush a little Wink of Stella for some sparkling "waves"!!
- Next, take a Stitched Rectangle die, and cut out the center. Attach the outside "frame", flat to the folded White card.
- Now, we'll finish the design of the card. Punch out the "base/mast" in Basic Black.
- Stamp the "sails" in stamped off Basic Gray. Punch out. Assemble these, where desired, onto "waves". I popped up the sails with Dimensionals.
- Next, add a couple vellum, die cut, clouds and some Basic Gray "seagulls".
- Finish the card by adding the design piece to the "frame" with adhesive strips - "Eclipse-style". (remember that technique!)
