It Starts At The Ocean
It’s Saturday and time for another FAB Stampers Post. This week I’m sharing some of my favourite projects that start with the wonderful Oceanfront Stamp Set.
I love creating pictures with my stamps, and this set is idea for creating peaceful oceanfront scenes. The different shaped stamps layer together to create sand, sea and sky. Grassy accents finish the scene and create a serene picture.
My sentiment stamp set for today is Go To Greetings. It is such a versatile set, it is perfect for any occasion.
ADDING MORE TO THE PICTURE
For this card, I added elements from the Heron Habitat Bundle. This is one of my faviourite bundles – at least right now! We have a Blue Heron that lives on our lake and I love seeing him fly around, or standing near shore watching for fish. To create my heron, I inked my stamp with Smoky Slate ink, then used a sponge dauber to add some Starry Sky ink to give him some blue feathers. I cut him out with the coordinating die from the bundle and added to the card with Dimensionals. The birds on this card are also from the Heron Habitat stamp set.
CHANGING DIRECTIONS
Even though it starts at the ocean, it doesn’t need to stop there, so for my last card I changed my colour scheme from ocean to land and used some images from the Grassy Grove stamp set. It is easy to change the feeling of your card just by changing some ink colours.
The sentiment on this card is fussy cut and popped up with Dimensionals. I may have done that because it is a neat idea and looks great on the card, but more likely I did it because the first time I stamped my sentiment it was crooked!! I love that in card making there are no mistakes, only opportunities.
