CCMC438 High Tide

December 29, 2016 By Connie | 5 Comments

My mom loves lighthouses, so this stamp set in the new Occasions catalog caught my eye right away!   I really wanted to use it for this week’s Create with Connie and Mary Thursday Challenge, and I think I managed it!

 

 

Here’s my design:

 

I thought the Pool Party would be great for water and the Flirty Flamingo for the morning sky!  Here are the details:

  • The base is 5-1/2 x 8-1/2 Pool Party cardstock, scored at 4-1/4 and folded.
  • On top is a 4 x 5-1/4 layer of Smoky Slate cardstock.
  • Spritz the 3-3/4 x 5 layer of Whisper White with water, and use an AquaPainter and Pool Party Ink Pad to  watercolor along the bottom; Flirty Flamingo Ink Pad and the AquaPainter painted the sky.  Let dry.
  • Use the small ground stamp with Smoky Slate Ink along the left side of the water.  Stamp the “waves” in the water with Pool Party Ink.
  • Stamp the lighthouse base with Smoky Slate Ink and the top with Flirty Flamingo Ink on top of the ground.
  • Stamp some sea oats with Smoky Slate Ink around the lighthouse.
  • Ink up three small birds with Smoky Slate Marker and stamp on the front.
  • Stamp the greeting with Memento Black Ink.

 

I LOVE it!!!  Make sure to check out the rest of the Challenge Team’s ideas over on Create with Connie and Mary!

I love stamping cards, altering 3D items and making little favors. I've been stamping for over 20 years and will have my 19th year Stampin' Up! anniversary in early May. I love being part of something that sparks my creativity and hear people comment, "you MADE this?" I also enjoy sharing that passion with others in my classes! If you live anywhere in the Delaware, Dublin, Powell, Lewis Center, Hilliard or surrounding Columbus, Ohio areas, join us! I love to meet new stamping friends. Email me for a current class schedule... I'm adding new classes all the time!

    Oh my goodness, this is gorgeous in these colors! I was late in getting my new stuff ordered, so my set just arrived in the mail yesterday! I’m so excited to be able to play with it though. Your card is awesome and holds a ton of inspiration!
