This week I am featuring the Waves of the Ocean Collection and so all the projects highlight the colours of the ocean.
For this card, I started by creating a background design on vellum. Using Dark Bermuda Bay, Dark Granny Apple Green and Dark Night of Navy Stampin’ Blends, I made many small colour swatches across an A4 piece of White Vellum.
Then I used a small eye dropper and Isopropyl Alcohol to move the colours around.
In this image you can still see several areas of colour swatches and alcohol shifted areas. It took many photos before I was able to get a couple of good eye dropper drops.
I love the way that each area of colour moves and blends and changes. After the vellum and inks dry, it is time to use it for another project. This vellum is a new piece awaiting a new project.
This piece of vellum was created using just Dark Bermuda Bay and Dark Night of Navy Stampin’ Blends.
After cutting the vellum down to 5-5/8″x 4″, I attached it to the Pacific Point card front using Stampin’ Seal+.
The two waves dies were used to create the Bermuda Bay and Pacific Point waves. Each piece had Adhesive Sheets placed behind the cardstock to make layering and attaching them so much easier.
The sentiment, from the Waves of Inspiration Stamp Set, was stamped on a small piece of Bermuda Bay cardstock before being die cut with the large die from the Waves Dies set. The tag was placed on the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.
I took a length of the white Faux Linen Ribbon, from the Flowers for Every Season Ribbon Combo Pack, and wrapped it around the card and through the tag ends before tying it in a simple knot.
Then I added a few Rhinestone Waves Basic Jewels to the front to add some glimmer.
I was able to cut some 1/2″ strips of the coloured vellum to add to the card insert and front of the envelope.
Oops- I forgot to pop the large banner die in this photo. I am loving this collection of new products!
Well, tomorrow is Wednesday and you will need to wait until then to see what I have to share with you.
Until then, happy stamping.
