August 14, 2015
Take a good look at the background on this card---see the 2 inks and the "wash" effect that makes it look like the fish is swimming through the water? This is done with this awesome new stamp called Watercolor Wash---it's super easy...here's how!
1. Cut 8 1/2 X 5 1/2 Island Indigo cardstock, score at 4 1/4 on long side (card base. Cut 5 1/4 X 4 Basic Black cardstock and adhere to card front with multipurpose liquid glue.
2. Cut 3 7/8 X 5 1/8 white cardstock--we're going to stamp on this.
3. Ink up a brayer (#102395) with Pool Party ink and brayer over the Watercolor Wash stamp--stamp on white cardstock. Clean the stamp and the brayer--ink up again with Pear Pizazz ink and stamp over the Pool party--offset the image just a bit....background is completed--see how quick that was?
4. Stamp the seaweed (By the Tide stamp set) in Stazon Jet Black in both lower corners.
5. Stamp the fish (By the Tide stamp set) in Island Indigo right above the seaweed. Adhere a couple of rhinestones as if they are bubbles leaving the fish mouth.
6. Stamp Happy Birthday (Sassy Salutations) in Versamark ink (#102283) in the upper part of the white cardstock; sprinkle with gold embossing powder and heat with heat tool until shiny gold. Adhere the stamped cardstock to the cardfront.
