School is almost out – just this week and next….then stamping heaven time! I’m working in stamping as often as I can for now. This card was made for the Paper Smooches Sparks challenge – Cool Shades “Nautical”.
The challenge colors are navy, teal, red, kraft. I thought the adorable Surf & Turf set would work really well for that.
The ocean is done by using ink smooshing. That is, I made little droplets of reinker on my craft sheet and then smooshed the card stock into the ink. I made sure the darker colors were focused more at the bottom.
The card base is embossed with an old swirl design folder from Sizzix. Since the folder image is smaller than a normal card base, so I just trimmed the card down to 5 1/4 x 4.
The critters are paper pieced and the sentiment is heat embossed.
Thanks for taking a peek!
