Waterfront cards


My cards are made from the new set from the 2018 Occasions catalog on page 48 called Waterfront.  It's a beautiful set that lets you create beautiful scenes.  It is Photopolymer with 16 stamps.  It even has palm trees.  I love this set!  Here are my instructions on how I made each card.  I used an Aqua Painter on the bottom card to make the colors pop!  The cards were inspired by watching Jackie Bolhuis' video.


1.     The base of the cards {1 and 2) are 4-1/4” x 11”of Dapper Denim and of Tranquil Tide and they are both scored at 5-1/2” in the middle.
2.    The Shimmery White cardstock is 4” x 5-1/4”.
3.    Ink up the mountain image stamp with Soft Suede ink and stamp three mountains across the topof the Shimmery White Cardstock.  Then without reinking, stamp three more mountains to make them appear off in the distance. {2} For the second card, use the Aqua Painter brushing without squeezing to blend the Soft Suede mountains.  Let dry before adding new colors so that they won’t bleed into each other.
4.    Ink up the land/grass stamp image with Garden Green ink. {2} For the second card, use the Aqua Painter again as before on the land/grass.  Clean stamp and use the same stamp inked up with Soft Suede and fill in some blank areas.  Use the Aqua Painter and let dry.
5.    For the water image stamp, use Marina Mist first and then Dapper Denim with the land/grass stamp image.  {2} Use Aqua Painter with each and let dry in between.
6.    Use the speckled stamp image with Dapper Denim over the water.
7.    Ink up the trees with Tranquil Tide ink.  {2} Use the Aqua Painter to blend each tree.
8.    Ink up the sun with Crushed Curry ink and stamp above the mountains.  {2} Use the Aqua Painter to the sun.
9.    Ink up the sentiment of choice with Basic Black ink and stamp at the bottom of the card.
