Good morning! Chris here, sharing two cards created with a few of the new July stamps!
Today I am focusing on the new July Zen Waves background stamp.
My first card uses Zen Waves as my background panel for a peaceful shaker card.
I stamped the background in a medium blue ink, and overstamped it with Versamark ink and heat embossed it in clear. I then added color to the waves with Zig Clean Color Real Brush markers. I used a scalloped die to create a decorative opening in my light blue panel for my shaker card. I trimmed a flag from lavender cardstock and added a greeting from Dream Quotes. I attached this flag to the back of my shaker front before assembling the shaker with clear acetate and two layers of foam tape.
My second card uses a Gel Press, acrylic paints and the Zen Waves background stamp for a more intense and active background.
I used Bristol Smooth card stock and three shades of acrylic inks to create the background with my Gil Press. Once my panel was dry, I stamped Zen Waves directly over the paint with Versafine Onyx Black ink. I also used another of the new July stamps, Be A Mermaid. To create the focal image, I stamped the Be A Mermaid in Versafine and colored her with Chameleon Colortone Pencils. I truly love how simple these pencils are to use. They make coloring so quick and easy! The small mermaid focal image was trimmed, matted with black cardstock and added to my card with dimensional foam tape.
That's all from me today! Thanks for stopping by!
Until next time,
Chris
