Stamp Simply May 2024 New Release- Edmund Fitzgerald

 

Hi Friends!

Today, I am sharing a card designed using the brand new release stamp set, The Great Lakes Freighter- Edmund Fitzgerald Bundle which is part of the Masculine/Nautical Great Lakes Series Release from Stamp Simply. 

I love both of the new stamp bundles in this release, the Great Lakes Freighter- The Edmund Fitzgerald Bundle and the Mackinac Bridge Bundle- love the fonts used as well as the sentiments are perfect for all occasions!

To create this card:

De-static a piece of the Ocean Ink Drops 6x6 paper (approx 4” x 3 ½ ”) with an embossing powder tool, ink the sentiment from The Great Lakes Freighter- The Edmund Fitzgerald using Versamark ink, apply white embossing powder and heat set with a heat tool.

Using Tumbled Glass Distress Oxide ink and a stencil brush, apply ink over a 3” x 4” piece of white cardstock (to resemble clouds- this is hard to see in the photo).  Heat set the ink with a heat tool.

Layer the cloud piece onto a 4 ¼” x 5 ½” piece of black cardstock and add the embossed Ocean layer onto the bottom.

Adhere the white scalloped trim over the raw edges of the layers and add the blue seam binding (wrapping the ends of the seam binding to the back of the panel).

Mount the entire panel onto a white card base.

Add a strip of the Ocean designer paper to the inside of the card.

De-static a piece of white cardstock with an embossing powder tool, ink the ship image from The Great Lakes Freighter-The Edmund Fitzgerald with Versafine Onyx Black ink, stamp onto the prepared panel, apply clear embossing powder and heat set with a heat tool.

Water color the image with water-based markers and die cut with the coordinating die (also die-cutting an additional ship from white cardstock to layer behind the colored image).

Mount the ship image to the card front with dimensional foam to finish off the card.

I enjoy playing along with online challenges and will be linking this card to the Word Art Wednesday #649-#650 "Anything Goes" Challenge (link here).
