SEAS THE DAY (1)

Today my card is featured on the Lawn Fawn Blog. I used some new stamp set, together with older sets, to create this beach themed encouragement card.

I started ink blendin the sky. I used Abandoned Coral and Wild Honey Distress Inks.

I die cut some waves from Mermaid cardstock. I used the Stitched Wave Borders. I ink blended these waves with Peacock Feathers Distress Ink. For the beach, I used Kraft cardstock and I die cut this with the Stitched Hillside Borders dies. I added some Ground Espresso Distress Ink onto it, using some water and a paint brushes. I added splatter. I also used some Chinese White watercolor.

I stamped the images and colored them with Copic Markers. Here are the colors I used:
Bears: E71 - E74 - E79/ E41 - E43/ R81
Fox: E33 - E35/ E00 - E11/ R81
Whale: W2 - W3 - W5/ BG13 - BG49
Towel: G02 - G41/ C3 - C5
Umbrella + ball: C0 - C3/ R29 - R35/ YR15 - YR16/ Y08 - Y02

Grass: YG11 - YG13
Drink: E33 - E35/ YR15 0 YR16/ G02 - YG41/ BG13 - BG49
Shells + starfish: R01 - R22/ R29 - R59
Sun block: YR15 - YR16/ Y08 - Y02/ BG13 - BG49

I fussy cut or die cut the images and assembled the card. I stamped and heat embossed the sentiment and added the panel onto a Guava cardbase.
