Here is another card that I
created this weekend using the HSSC190 Hand Stamped Sentiments Sketch along
with the CQC251 ColourQ Challenge.
I
thought this would be a fun card for someone embarking on a cruise or a long,
deserved vacation :-)
Again, if you have not
visited either of the sites above, both sites have excellent Design Teams as
well as other samples- great ideas from all!!
To create this card:
Use the 1 3/8” Circle Punch
to punch out a circle from a piece of scrap paper and mask the area on a piece
of Whisper White cardstock and add another mask at the bottom for the horizon.
Use a Sponge Dauber with Pretty
in Pink to add a bit of pink to the sky, then follow with Calyspo Coral, Melon
Mambo and finally add Concord Crush. Remove the circle mask and add a bit of
Pretty In Pink, Melon Mambo and Calypso Coral to the sun/moon.
Repeat the colors in the
water area leaving a light for the reflection of the sun/moon. Use an AquaPainter™ to
soften and blend the colors.
Ink the ship image from
Traveler using Concord Crush Classic Ink and stamp onto the sponged
background. Use a Chalk Marker to
lighten areas of the ship that need highlighting and darken areas with a Stampin’
Write Concord Crush marker.
Use the Sponge Dauber with Concord
Crush to add a shadow for the ship and the Chalk Marker for highlights on the
water. Trim and mount onto a piece of
Concord Crush cardstock.
Stamp the sentiment onto
Whisper White cardstock and mount onto a piece of Concord Crush cardstock
(creating the banner points using the Hexagon Punch).
Create the second banner in
the same manner (using retired Pretty in Pink Designer Series Paper) and adhere
both banners to the top of the sponged background panel.
Ink the World Map image
using Concord Crush Classic Ink and stamp onto a piece of Whisper White
cardstock. Using a Sponge Dauber, add
Melon Mambo and Concord Crush Classic Ink, trim and mount onto a Concord Crush
cardstock panel, trimming again and adhere onto the Pretty in Pink card base.
Stamp the postage stamp
images using Concord Crush Classic Ink onto Whisper White cardstock. Sponge Pretty In Pink along with Calypso
Coral ink over the images and cut out by hand (you could use the 1” Square
Punch but it will cut part of the stamped image). Mount each of the postage stamp images onto
squares punched from Concord Crush cardstock using the Postage Stamp Punch.
Adhere the focal image to
the card front and add the “postage stamps” using Stampin’ Dimensionals® to
finish off the card.
