Summer by the Sea


Hi Friends!

As I mentioned in my previous posts, I am slowly working my way through the Splitcoaststampers over800+ sketch challenges in addition to inking up some of my older (and mostly retired) stamp sets.

This card was designed using the retired Stampin’ Up! Summer by the Sea stamp set along with a verse sentiment from the current Divinity Designs LLC set, Scripture Collection 9.


If you have not had a chance to check out the above challenge sites yet, I encourage you to do so- beautiful inspiration from all!

To create this card:

De-static a piece of white cardstock with an embossing powder tool, ink the Summer by the Sea image with Versafine™ Onyx Black ink, stamp onto the prepared cardstock, apply clear embossing powder and heat set with a heat tool.

Once the embossing has cooled, color the image with water based markers and watercolor pencils.  Use distress oxide ink to watercolor the sky and once satisfied with the coloring, die cut with a stitched rectangle die.

Mount onto a piece of black cardstock, trim close to the edge.

Emboss a piece of eggplant designer series paper and mount onto black cardstock for the background panel.  Lightly distress the edges and sand the embossing (I had this piece already embossed in my stash and discovered it during my organization this past spring).

Ink the verse sentiment from Scripture Collection 9 using Versafine™ Onyx Black ink, stamp onto the prepared cardstock, apply clear embossing powder and heat set with a heat tool. 

Distress with brushed corduroy/vintage tea ink using a sponge and a texture stamp.  Die cut the sentiment with a stitched rectangle die, mount onto black cardstock and trim close to the edge.

Die cut the nautical paper with a stitched square die and hand trim the mustard paper, mount both onto black cardstock and trim close to the edge.

Arrange the layers onto the eggplant background (per the sketch), add the knotted hemp twine, the sentiment and mount the focal image with chipboard (or dimensional foam).

To finish off the card, use a clear glitter pen to add shimmer to the water and a sponge with distress ink to age the edges of the layers.
