Tropical Palms card for the Ink & Inspirations Blog Hop

Hello and welcome to the Ink & Inspiration Blog Hop whare we are sharing projects inspired by a picture and colour combo. I have used the Oceanfront and Paradise Palms stamp sets to make a card.

 

 

Colours used in this project are:

 

To recreate the Tropical Palms card, you will need:

Tahitian Tide card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” – scored at 4⅛”
Crumb Cake card – 5⅛” by 3⅜”
Fluid 100 card – 5” by 3¼”
Very Vanilla card – 2½” by 1”
Very Vanilla card – 5½” by 3¾” – for the inside

 

Using a Spritzer I sprayed water onto the panel of Fluid 100 card, this will allow the ink to move around on the card.

 

I inked up the ‘sea’ stamp from the Oceanfront stamp set with Bermuda Bay at the top and Coastal Cabana ink at the bottom of the stamp. I stamped down onto the wet Fluid 100 card.

 

The ‘sky’ image from the same stamp set was inked up with Tahitian Tide ink and stamped down as above. I didn’t mind if there was a little mixing of the inks.

 

I left the panel to dry a little before stamping the ‘sand’ image, again from the Oceanfront stamp set in Crumb Cake ink. I used a Heat Tool to completely dry the stamped background before moving onto the next step.

 

Using the Stamparatus I stamped the tree trunks from the Paradise Palms stamp set in Crumb Cake ink. I like to use the Stamparatus with Watercolor card as I can stamp multiple times to get the depth of colour and definition I want. The palm tree tops were added with Old Olive ink using the Stamparatus. The whole panel was then glued to the Crumb Cake layer and then added to the Tahitian Tide card base on Dimensionals.

 

The sentiment was stamped on Very Vanilla card and die cut using the Stylish Shapes Dies and added to the card front to complete the card.
