Father’s Day Inspiration Week- Day 3

Hi, it’s Mona here, today I am sharing with you how I created this sweet card with the view from a boat.

Watch the video above  I  Watch the video in HD on YouTube

I stamped the images from Nautical, Hedgehog Friends and Pumpkin Patch Critters stamp sets with alcohol marker friendly black inkpad.

Next, I colored the images with Spectrum Noir Illustrator and Classique Markers. The used colors are: BT1, BT2, BT3, BT5, BT6, CT1, CT3, FS9, TN1, TN2, TN3, TN6, TN8, EB5, RB3, RB1, CR2, True Black, Blender. Classiques: BT05. For the coloring process with useful tips visit the video tutorial. After the coloring I added white highlights to the images with white pen and pencil as well.

I wanted to make this card from the front of the motor boat, so I created one with die-cutting. I made the windshield from silver glitter cardstock. First, I run it through my die-cut machine with the Stitched Borders 1 dies, and repeated the process with the Stitched Gift Card Holders as well on each side.

When it was done, I have created one more die-cut with the Stitched Border 1 dies, but this time from vellum as a glass of the windshield. Next, I cut a piece of teal cardstock to the boat and I also made some die cuts from brown woodgrain cardstock as well.  To the front of the boat, I will use a negative piece of die-cut what I made again with the stitched border dies and to the back of the ship I have created a brown die-cut with the scalloped border dies. When I had all my parts prepared, I made on them a quick ink blending to add a bit shadow, and adhered them together.

Next, I stamped the I love you, sentiment to my card base with watermark ink, then I heat embossed it with fine white embossing powder.

After this process I made a quick ink blending with Peacock Feathers and Mermaid Lagoon distress oxide inks to the sea. When it was done, I continued the blending of the sky with Blueprint Sketch and Chipped Sapphire distress oxide inks to create that perfect bright sky.

After the ink blending, I run the card front through my die-cut machine with the wave dies from the Nautical die set. I have also created 3 die cuts with the Dad script die, adhered them together, but I shifted the bottom part a bit to have a sparkly shadow.

In the end I just put every piece to its right place, and this lovely nautical card was ready. Thank you so much for stopping by, see you next time.
