Seaside Girl - Endless As the Ocean Card

Seaside Girl

"Endless As the Ocean" card

Welcome to my next project for Couture Creations using the

'Seaside Girl' Collection.

This time I thought I would make a card with some of the elements from this new collection plus adding some alcohol inks. So here goes....

I cut the A4 Synthetic paper into quarters and used one of the quarters. I applied some Alcohol Ink Blending Solution all over the page then randomly dropped the mix of Alcohol inks onto the page. Each time I used a colour I used the blower to spread the inks around. The Pearl sheen was stunning and all of the colours were so vivid. Once I felt happy with the mix I allowed it to dry.

I stamped and embossed the large shell stamp onto one corner, then die-cut it out.

I cut the page on a diagonal and die-cut the other 2 elements.

I glued the inked section to the bottom of the cardbase and added a thin strip of glitter card to it's edge. I cut out a sentiment panel and inked the edges.

The Liquid Scrap Spots were excellent for gluing the thinner elements - they were clear and gave them height. I used the a mix of the other glues for the elements.

I cut the coral die-cut apart and spread it around the shells. On the sides of the card I just added a couple of sequences with a drop of glitter glue in their centres.

The finished project.

Seaside Girl Shell in Your Pocket Card

Seaside Girl

Shell in Your Pocket Card

Welcome to my next project for Couture Creations using the

'Seaside Girl' Collection.

This time I thought I would make a card using only the one stamp set. So here goes....

I started by laying out the stamps in an arrangement along the front edge. I needed to see the order I had to stamp and mask. The stamps that are on the top had to be stamped first then masked so that the next images could be stamped.

The masking process. Because I wanted to colour the images with water based dye inks, I used the Stayz alcohol ink to stamp the images so the inks wouldn't run past the outline of the image.

Once the stamping was done, the colouring started. I stamped a small area of each colour on a glass plate. I used a water pen and dye inks for this.

All done, just fussy cut around the outline edge so the inside panel can be seen.

I added a touch of glitter on parts of the shells using a glitter pen.

On the inside, I placed a strip of washy tape just a bit wider than the front cut edge then heat embossed the 'Net' stamp using white embossing powder.

Once the embossing was set, I randomly added blue ink over the area using the blending brush.

I cut out a sentiment panel, distressed the edges, backed with cardboard, added a string tie and glued it to the front.

The finished project.
