Vitamin Sea Beach Scene

 

Creating a beach scene was easy with blended distress oxide inks, the Stormy Sea Border stamp, and the Cloud Edger Stencil from A Colorful Life Designs. I topped my beach scene with the Beach is my Therapist stamp to finish it off. I'll take Vitamin Sea any day of the week!

Glitter Shell Waves

Our pretty little Shell Waves background stamp was made even better with the use of Kaisercraft Glitter Markers on the shells. The Dance with the Waves sentiment from the Ocean Waves Sentiment set is a perfect compliment to the motion of the waves!

Zen Sea Turtle with Background Stencil

Hello, Tracy Shultz, The Hopeful Crafter, here to share two cards that feature stamps from the June 2021 Technique Junkies new release. There are so many wonderful ocean themed cards in this release. I paired the Zen Sea Turtle stamp with the Ocean Frame Sentiments, Set of 5: to create several cards:

I stamped the Zen Sea Turtle using Versafine Clair and Catherine Pooler Ink (Lime Rickey). I heat embossed the turtle with clear embossing powder and cut the turtle with my scan and cut machine. I colored the Circular Motion stencil from A Colorful Life Designs with Catherine Pooler Inks (Tranquil and Cove Blue). I stamped one of the sentiments from the Ocean Frame Sentiments Set of 5 on a piece of blue shimmer cardstock and then trimmed the sentiment with the Deckle Trimmer. I layered the stenciled background on a piece of turquoise glitter card stock. I used foam tape to pop both the turtle and the sentiment up off the card base. These layers I adhered to an A2 top folding landscape card base. For my second card I followed the same steps but used different ink colors for the turtle and the stencil, a different sentiment and green glitter card stock as a mat base.

Escape the Ordinary

 

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.

 

As always, you can use my code below to get 10% off your shopping cart. 

Steps to making my card:

1.  Cut a 4 1/4″ x 5 1/2″ piece of watercolour paper
2.  Smoosh  ink onto a silicone mat in a big area and spritz with water.  I used 3 colours of distress inks.
3. Dip watercolour paper into your inked area and smoosh around.
4. Dry with heat gun.
5. Dip watercolour paper lightly onto beaded areas of ink and heat with heat gun.
6. Repeat steps 2 to 5 until you are happy with your background.  My background was created by repeating these steps four times.
7. When background is dry, ink Framed Seascape onto your background with VersaMark and sprinkle with white embossing powder.  Heat set.
8.  Using a sentiment from Ocean Frame Sentiments, ink up your stamp with VersaMark and sprinkle with gold embossing powder.  Heat set.
9.  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.

Thank you for stopping by!

Clean and simple Sketched Beach

Clean and simple - this is just one layer on top of the blue cardstock base - can be effective! The Sketched Beach stamp was inked with Versafine in light blue, and the Escape the ordinary stamp from the Ocean Framed Sentiments set was stamped over that. Simple, yet it fills the whole card. Simple doesn't have to be dull!

Joyful Fish Frame

Good morning, Junkies!  It's Holly posting today and I'm sharing this Joyful Fish Frame card with you.  I stamped the gorgeous new Framed Seascape onto white cardstock with some green dye ink.  Then I stamped the sentiment from the Ocean Frame Sentiments set with the same green dye ink.  I colored the fish and coral with Copic markers, and then I colored the outside of the frame with a pale blue Copic marker.  The contrast of the white note against the blue sea with the colorful fish just makes me smile.
