Hi Stampers! 
I had a chance to relax and
stamp into the wee hours this morning and decided to create a Clean and Simple (CAS) card with a watercolor technique for the Nance's PP241 CAS Watercolor Challenge using this week's "summery" CQC288 ColourQ Challenge Palette.
Again, if
you have not visited the above sites, I hope you will do so- great inspiration
from all!
To create
this card:
Ink the main
starfish and conch shell image from the soon to be retired, By The Seashore with
Stāz-On® Jet Black Ink and stamp onto a piece of Naturals White cardstock. Stamp another image of each onto a piece of scrap
paper or a sticky note, cut out and use these images as masks.
Mask the
two stamped images and stamp the sand dollars along with the additional
starfish using Stāz-On® Jet Black Ink.
Wet the
paper and use a paintbrush or AquaPainter™ to apply Bermuda Bay and retired
Kiwi Kiss Classic Ink to the background along with Crumb Cake Classic Ink to
the shells and lower portion of the panel.
Spritz with additional water and apply more
ink as needed.
Dry the
panel thoroughly with a Heat Tool and use the Crumb Cake Stampin’ Write Marker
to add shadows and more definition to the shells, spritzing as needed to blend
the ink.
Spritz
the background lightly and stamp the large splatter stamp from Gorgeous Grunge
using Bermuda Bay Classic Ink, clean the stamp and stamp the splatter again
with Crumb Cake Classic Ink at the bottom.
Dry the
panel again thoroughly with the Heat Tool and stamp the sentiment from Trust
God using Stāz-On® Jet Black Ink.
Use a Faber-Castell®
Black Pitt Pen marker to fill in any gaps in the images and add a few highlights
to the shells with the Faber-Castell® White Pitt Pen marker.
Trim the panel
and mount onto a piece of Basic Black cardstock, trim again and mount onto the
Whisper White card base to finish off the card.
