This month’s Amy’s Inkin’ Krew Team Blog Hop theme is “birthday.” Have fun seeing how everyone interpreted the theme.
My card today was inspired by a card that I saw Kim Fee make.
It starts off with Crumb Cake cardstock. I then took a panel of Basic White cardstock and using the Blending Brushes created an ombre of color in Bermuda Bay and Pretty Peacock color. In the corner I stamped the seaweed a few times in Coastal Cabana ink.
I then matted this on Pretty Peacock cardstock and offset a panel of Soft Suede cardstock underneath it.
If you are new to using the Blending Brushes, you can check out this video here I did in which I gave some tips and tricks on how to use them.
Next I folded over the Fine Art Ribbon a few times, securing it with Tear & Tape adhesive. I then stamped the sentiment from the Friends Are Like Seashells Stamp Set in Pretty Peacock ink, cutting it out with the Tasteful Labels Dies.
I stamped the seashells in Soft Suede, Coastal Cabana, and Pretty Peacock. I colored them in using Crumb Cake, Pool Party, and Light Bermuda Bay Stampin’ Blend.
Lastly, I added a few Champagne Rhinestones around.
Thanks for checking out my project today!!
