Hello friends!
I pulled out the Oceanfront stamp set today to make a couple of cards to share with you today. Each has been paired with a different stamp set . Take a look.
Foe the card on the left, I stamped the sky in Balmy Blue, the water in Coastal Cabana, and Crumb Cake for the sandy shore line. The grass and greeting were stamped in Mossy Meadow. The birds are from On The Horizon and are stamped in Memento. The greeting is from the Saleabration set, Special Moments. I added some of the Faux Sea Glass Shapes in the sand. TIP: Color the Faux Sea Glass Shapes with your Stampin' Blends! I used my Crumb Cake Stampin' Blends marker on a few of the clear pieces.
For the card on the right, the sky was stamped in Balmy Blue, the water is Coastal Cabana and Pear Pizzazz. The shore line is Crumb Cake and Old Olive. The grass along the horizon and the deer are from Grassy Grove and are stamped in Memento. The greeting is from Special Moments and it is also stamped in Memento. I added a sprinkling of the Pebbles Enamel Shapes to the shore and grass on this card.
TIP!!! A little tip I've found for stamping with the Oceanfront (and other scene building stamp sets): after stamping a section - say the sky or the water, I take a Blender Pen and go over the stamped image. Doing so blends the color on the stamped image and helps to maximize the watercolor affect. Try it! It's easy to do and makes a difference!
The supply list for my cards (including a printable version) is shown below. Clicking any of the images will take you to my online store. (Note: the supplies for each card are divided by the Oceanfront stamp set photo).
Please use the host code 327RSFS6 when ordering. If your order is more than $150.00, do not use the code. Doing so would forfeit your earned hostess benefits. However, you will still receive this month's order bonus from me.
Make it a Stamp-tastic Day!
