Hi crafty friends, today I’m participating in the Simon Says Stamp Be Creative Instagram Hop and I made two cards to share ideas using the new and super cute Vitamin Sea stamp set.
The Be Creative release is packed with beautiful supplies for cardmaking and papercraft and it is awesome to be able to see what everyone has created.
Vitamin Sea Stamp Set
Vitamin Sea is a 6×8 inches stamp set that includes beautifully illustrated mermaids and under-the-sea elements.
Over 30 individual stamps to enjoy creating and there is also a coordinating die set available.
- For today, I made a slimline card 8 x 4 inches and a C6 card ( 5-1/2″ x 4-1/4″ inches)
- To make them, I simply stamped the images on Arches watercolour paper using Versafine Clair Nocturne ink .
- Then, I added colour to the backgrounds, using Royal and Cadette Pawsitively Saturated Inks and to darken the edges I applied Distress Black Soot ink.
- I didn’t do any masking. The tip is to add colour to the background first trying to avoid passing the blending brushes over the images.
- Next, I added colour to all the stamped images using a mix of Zigs and Karin markers.
- The final step was adding the sun ray stencilled image using Citrine Pawsitively Saturated Ink and some splatters.
- Once everything was dried I stamped the sentiments.
Stencils used:
- Paved the Way stencil by Clearly Besotted
- Ocean Builder stencil By Honey Bee Stamps ( sadly discontinued). However, I added to the supplies list similar stencils.
