2019 Mega Sponsor Fall Blog Hop Begins Today!
Hello, Gemma here today and we are excited to be part of an exciting event. We have partnered with 13 other stamp and paper craft companies to do a special blog hop and will be giving away 15 prizes to 15 lucky winners!
Today’s card is using the fabulous Summer Surfboards set. This card just makes me want to be by the seaside on a summers day. I began by adding some colour to my card base with distress oxide inks. I masked off areas of the card to create sky, sea and sand. Here are the colours I used:
Sky: tattered rose, picked raspberry and dried marigold
Sea: tumbled glass and peacock feathers
Sand: tattered rose
By using a light hand with the tattered rose distress oxide ink, it adds a lovely warm glow to the sand, reflecting the colour in the sky. For the sea, I added some white gel pen details for surf and waves, smudging with my fingers to soften.
Next, I coloured two of the Summer Surfboards with copic markers, then die cut them with the coordinating dies. I used foam tape to adhere them to my card base,
The sentiment is from the Tropical Birds stamp set, and I added some watermelon, cornflower, and caribbean blue jewels around it to finish.
