Marbleous Whale card for the Ink. Stamp. Share Blog Hop

Posted on by

 

Hello and welcome to the Ink. Stamp. Share Blog Hop where we are making a card using a card sketch. I love a sketch; it is a really good way of making me think outside my comfort zone to produce something a little different. My marbleous whale card is made using the Whale Done stamp set and Simply Marbleous  dsp.

Colours in this project are:

 

To make the marbleous whale card, you will need:

Thick Basic White card base – 8 ¼” by 5⅝” scored at 4⅛”
Balmy Blue card – 5 ½” by 4”
Simply Marbleous dsp – 5 ¼” by 3⅞” – cut a 1½” strip from each end on the long side
Scrap Basic White

 

Laying the 3 panels of the lovely Simply Marbleous dsp together, I stamped the seaweed in Garden Green ink. The coral was added in Calypso Coral ink at the bottom of the panels.

The schools of fish were stamped in Cajun Craze ink. I love the way you can stamp this image so that the fish can swim in both directions. The ‘bubbles’ were added in Misty Moonlight ink.

Hello and welcome to the Crafty Challenge Blog Hop where we have a sketch challenge and I have chosen to make a pot of daisies card using the Flowering Rain Boots stamp set.

Colours used in this project are:

 

To recreate the pot of daisies card, you will need:

Thick Basic White card – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛”
Friendly Hello dsp – 5⅞” by 2”
Mossy Meadow card – 5⅞” by ⅜”
Basic White card – 5¼” by 1¾”
Mossy Meadow card – 3¼” by 3¼”
Basic White card – 2¾” by 2¾”
Basic White card – ¼” strip

I adhered the piece of Friendly Hello dsp to the bottom of the Thick Basic White card front using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive.

Next, I added Pale Papaya ink to the small panel of Basic White using a Blending Brush. I had tried a panel of Pale Papaya but the colour was too bright and I wanted something more muted. However, I felt the inked panel was to wishy-washy so I ended up stamping the group of daisies across the inked panel in 2nd generation Pale Papaya ink. I liked this as it gave the subtle texture I was looking for. The panel was then adhered above the dsp panel leaving about ¼” between the two pieces. The strip of Mossy Meadow card was adhered down to cover the edges of both the dsp and the inked panel.

The flowerpot from the Flowering Rain Boots stamp set was stamped on the square of Basic White card in Mossy Meadow ink and the group of daisies added in Basic Gray ink.  I used the Pale Papaya Blends Markers to colour in the daisies and So Saffron for the flower centres.

The coloured image was then die cut using the Layering Circle Dies and my Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine and layered onto a larger scalloped circle cut in the same way with the same dies from the square of Mossy Meadow card. The circle was then added to the card front on Dimensionals.

I hope you like the card.
