Hi everyone! The end of July has seen the New Release stamps at Inspired by Stamping. The new sets are just amazing and I had a lot of fun playing with one in particular - Summer Fun
Here is my DT card -
My background was fun to do – I combined three
sentiments and the little heart from the set and arranged them all
onto an acrylic block. I was then able to stamp them as a 'block' of
stamps instead of individual ones. This is a great technique for
covering a large area.
Next I created my Summer
scene -
If you look closely, you
will see that my sand really does look like sand! Can you guess what
I have used? I have a collection of paint swatches in my drawer that
I picked up from the local hardware store. This one has this
beautiful texture and is the perfect colour for sand. All I did was
cut the edge with a circle die and draw a wavy line on the back with
a pencil and cut along that line. I used double sided tape to adhere
it to my cardstock circle.
Then I went to town
sponging the sea and the sunset. Once finished, I stamped the palm
tree in black to create a wonderful silhouette look. I have popped up
my finished beach scene with foam tape for dimension.
Supplies Used:

Great card Kylie. I love how you created the side panel and the sand, both great ideas. :)
ReplyDeleteI love this Kylie, I am so going to use that idea for block stamping and your sunset is gorgeous, so beautifully stamped x
ReplyDeleteWow, this turned out so beautiful. I can't believe your sand is from a paint chip. So very creative! Beautiful job with the sky and sunset too. Thanks for joining us this fortnight over at Fresh Brewed Designs. Good luck in the draw.
