By The Tide- An Experiment in Glue Art :-)



Hi Stampers!!

I wanted to try another new technique and decided to use this week’s Splitcoaststampers MIX70 Glue Art Challenge and SC490 Sketch along with the FabFri42 Color Challenge.

Again, I hope that you will find the time to visit each site and see all of the different designs and inspiration!

To create this card:

Spritz water onto a piece of Watercolor Paper and use an AquaPainter™ with Coastal Cabana and Pool Party Classic Ink to cover the entire piece- dry with the Heat Tool.

Once dried, apply Crisp Cantaloupe Classic Ink with the AquaPainter™ and spritz with water, dry with the Heat Tool.

Ink the coral stamp image from By The Tide using Crisp Cantaloupe Classic Ink and stamp over the Crisp Cantaloupe area of the card front.  Ink the script stamp using Summer Starfruit Classic Ink over the Pool Party/Coastal Cabana area of the card front.

 Apply Hot Glue over the Crisp Cantaloupe area to mimic additional coral, once dried, apply Gold Encore™ Ink over the glue to highlight the “coral”.

Ink the seahorse, fish and Nantucket images from By The Tide using Tuxedo Memento™ Black Ink onto Whisper White cardstock.  Use Sponge Daubers with Pool Party, Crisp Cantaloupe and Coastal Cabana Classic Ink to color the images.   Fussy cut the images out and set aside.

Cut out the central focal image using the Big Shot™ with the Window Frame Collection Framelits™ and also cut another window frame from Coastal Cabana and Basic Black cardstock.  

Cut the Coastal Cabana and Basic Black frames in half horizontally and layer behind the focal image. 

Use the Big Shot™ with a Square Lattice Textured Impressions™ Embossing Folder to emboss a piece of Crisp Cantaloupe cardstock and mount onto a piece of Coastal Cabana cardstock and again onto the Basic Black card base.

Add the layer of Soho Subway Designer Series Paper (DSP) onto a piece of Coastal Cabana and Basic Black cardstock.   Also add another layer using the remaining piece of Watercolor Paper with the glue (cut from the focal image piece), mounted onto a piece of Coastal Cabana and Basic Black cardstock as well.

Sponge Pool Party Classic Ink onto one half of a White Tea Lace Paper Doily onto the side of the focal image and add to the side of the focal image mounting the entire focal image onto the card front using Stampin’  Dimensionals®. 

Add the layered Nantucket image, seahorse and set of fish to the card front. 

Stamp the sentiment from Wetlands using Tuxedo Memento™ Black Ink onto Whisper White and stamp the script stamp using Summer Starfruit over the sentiment as well as the Nantucket image using Pool Party. 

Use a Sponge Dauber with Crisp Cantaloupe Classic Ink and punch out with an XL Oval Punch, layer onto a piece of Coastal Cabana and Basic Black cardstock punched also with the XL Oval Punch.

Add the knotted piece of retired Hemp Twine and add the sentiment to the front of the card using Stampin’ Dimensionals®.
