Hi friends! I love escaping the ordinary. How about you? Leave me a message and tell me how you love to escape the ordinary. Me? I like to go to our boat and jump off the side into the cold water.
This was a very fun background that I created for Technique Junkies Framed Seascape stamp and Ocean Frame Sentiments.

Steps to making my card:
- Cut a 4 1/4″ x 5 1/2″ piece of watercolour paper
- Smoosh ink onto a silicone mat in a big area and spritz with water. I used 3 colours of distress inks.
- Dip watercolour paper into your inked area and smoosh around.
- Dry with heat gun.
- Dip watercolour paper lightly onto beaded areas of ink and heat with heat gun.
- Repeat steps 2 to 5 until you are happy with your background. My background was created by repeating these steps four times.
- When background is dry, ink Framed Seascape onto your background with VersaMark and sprinkle with white embossing powder. Heat set.
- Using a sentiment from Ocean Frame Sentiments, ink up your stamp with VersaMark and sprinkle with gold embossing powder. Heat set.
- Die cut an anchor or other sea die, and ink up the diecut with VersaMark and sprinkle gold embossing powder over top. Heat set. Now it looks like a real charm and not paper. Just a little trick that will surprise the recipient of your card.
