Here is the card I designed for my son to give my husband on Father’s Day using the Relaxing Waterside stamp set.

Coloured used to make this card are:

I created the relaxing waterside card using the following supplies:

Blueberry Bushel card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛” on the long side
Darling Duckling – 5½” by 3¾”
Basic White – 5⅜” by 3⅝”
Basic White – 5½” by 3¾” for the inside
Scrap Basic White, Darling Duckling & Blueberry Bushel

In the centre of a large scrap panel of Basic White card I die cut a circle using the largest of the circle dies from the Stylish Shapes dies. This was placed over the smaller piece of Basic White card to act as a mask and held in place with washi tape.

I used a Blending Brush to apply Misty Moonlight ink to the negative space, slowly building up the colour. The mask was then removed.

The chair was stamped, overlapping the inked circle with Secret Sea ink and coloured it in with Blueberry Bushel Blends Pens.

Using Darling Duckling ink I stamped the dotty image, from the Help Me Grow stamp set, under the chair and added the small grass image with 1^st and 2^nd generation Old Olive ink.

The sentiment was stamped in Secret Sea ink. I flagged the end of two ¼” strips, one of Darling Duckling and the other of Blueberry Bushel card and added them to the top of the panel. I added the layer to the Darling Duckling panel, offset. The whole piece was mounted onto the Blueberry Bushel card base.

A trio of Darling Duckling gems from my stash finished the card.

Supplies used:

Today I am sharing a masculine birthday card made using the lilypad Lake stamp set and some masking. The card was inspired by a card made by Ruth at Artful Stampin.

To recreate the masculine Lilypad Lake card you will need:

Bermuda Bay card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛”
Crushed Curry – 5 ½” by 3 ¾”
Very Vanilla – 5⅜” by 3⅝” x 2
Scrap Very Vanilla

I began by using PostIt notes to mask off an area in the centre of one of the Very Vanilla panel. I inked up the long thin striped image using Bermuda Bay ink and stamped it five or six times from the bottom allowing the layers to overlap. This gives a lovely ombre look. I repeated this step three times to build up the colour.
