Happy Hibiscus for the Ink and Inspiration Blog Hop-December 2024

Posted on December 26, 2024March 17, 2025 by Theresa's Treasures

Hello fellow stampers! I am Theresa McEntee-author of Theresa’s Treasures Paper Crafts Blog. Today I am hopping along with the Ink & Inspiration Blog Hop Demonstrators with my Happy Hibiscus card. It is the last hop of 2024! You can visit super awesome blogs from around the world! The list to join the hop is at the end of my blog post. Please stop by and see everyone’s projects!

Some of the Stampin’ Up! products I used for this colorful card are a sneak peek of what is in the 2025 January to April Mini Catalog! Specifically, the Bloom Impression 12″ x 12″ Designer Series Paper and Sunny Day Iridescent Dots which will be available for purchase on January 7, 2025! If you are in need of a catalog, be sure to let me know in the comments.

This month the Ink & Inspiration Challenge is a Sketch challenge. I was inspired by the sketch and wanted to use something other than the square and rectangle shapes. I chose the Happy Hibiscus Bundle from the Online Exclusives since the flowers were large enough to substitute for the squares and rectangle in the sketch. Also, I really enjoy coloring with the Stampin’ Blend Alcohol Markers! It is so fun to blend the colors together!

Measurements

Basic White cardstock card base: 4 1/4″ x 11″, scored at 5 1/2″
Basic White cardstock for stamping the flowers and
leaves: 4 1/4″ x 5 1/2″

4 large flowers
Peach Pie cardstock: 2 1/4″ for the sentiment
Shy Shamrock cardstock: 1 3/4″ x 5″ to die cut 5 leaves

& 1/8″ x 3 3/4″

Supplies

Stamp Set: Happy Hibiscus
Dies: Happy Hibiscus Hybid Dies
Embossing Folder: Happy Hibiscus Hybrid 3D Embossing Folder
Ink: Memento Black Ink Pad
Stampin’ Blends Alcohol Markers: Lemon Lolly Combo Pack, Calypso Coral Light, Poppy Parade Combo Pack, Melon Mambo Combo Pack, Pretty in Pink Combo Pack & a Color Lifter.
Embellishments: Sunny Day Iridescent Dots and Wink of Stella Clear Glitter Brush
Ribbon: Peach Pie 3/8″ Bordered Ribbon

Instructions

Use the Memento Black Ink to stamp the images of the flowers & leaves onto the Basic White cardstock. Also stamp the sentiment onto the Peach Pie cardstock.
Color as desired. I used the Stampin’ Blends Alcohol Markers. You could use the Blends, the Watercolor Pencils or the Stampin’ Write Markers. Have fun!
Use the Happy Hibiscus Hybid Dies and Hybrid 3D Embossing Folder to cut & add dimension to the stamped flowers. It does take a little practice to use this. I recommend practicing on images stamped in Memento Ink on scrap paper first. Watch the following video on how to use the Hybrid Dies & 3D Embossing Folder.

Die cut the Peach Pie cardstock flowers & the Shy Shamrock cardstock leaves.
Use the Stampin’ Blends Alcohol Markers to add some color to the center of each of the Peach Pie cardstock flowers.
Use two sizes of hole punches to make the Lemon Lolly cardstock flower centers. Adhere the centers to the middle of each of the Peach Pie cardstock flowers. Add some Wink of Stella to each flower.

Assembling the Card

Wrap a 6″ piece of the Peach Pie Ribbon around the Bloom Impressions panel. Secure with Mini Glue Dots. Tie a bow and adhere to the far right. I use a combination of the Mini Glue Dots and Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue so that the bow will stay on more securely.
Adhere the Bloom Impressions Designer Series Paper panel with the ribbon around it to the front of the Basic White cardstock card base.
Adhere the strips of Bloom Impressions Designer Series Paper to the inside of the card base as shown below.

Use Stampin’ Dimensionals to adhere the sentiment to the lower left-hand corner of the card front.
Adhere the die cut Shy Shamrock cardstock leaves to the back of the stamped & colored flowers. Use Stampin’ Dimensionals to adhere the 3 flowers to the card front. Add some Wink of Stella to each flower.

Adhere the stamped & colored leaves to the small flower for the inside. Then use the Tombow Glue to adhere the flower & leaves to the lower right-hand corner of the inside.

Use the Mini Glue Dots and a little Tombow Glue to adhere the Peach Pie Cardstock die cut flowers.
Finish the card front by adding the Sunny Day Iridescent Dots.

¡Voila!

I hope you enjoyed my interpretation of Sketch 107. You are currently at Theresa McEntee-USA author of Theresa’s Treasures Paper Crafts Blog. Be sure to visit everyone on the Blog Roll Call for lots of awesome inspiration!

Online Exclusive Simply Zinnia for the Ink and Inspiration Sketch 104 Challenge Blog Hop-March 2024

Posted on March 28, 2024March 26, 2024 by Theresa's Treasures

Here is my Online Exclusive Simply Zinnia card for the Sketch 104 Challenge!

Hello fellow stampers! I am Theresa McEntee-author of Theresa’s Treasures Paper Crafts. I am hopping along with the Ink & Inspiration Blog Hop today. You can visit super awesome blogs from around the world! The list to join the hop is at the end of my blog post. Please stop by and see everyone’s projects!

The Ink & Inspiration Challenge this month is a Sketch Challenge. I was already playing around with the Simply Zinnia stamp set. I had stamped a bunch of the large zinnia and colored them with the Stampin’ Blends Alcohol Markers. If you haven’t tried alcohol markers yet, don’t wait any longer. The alcohol markers make coloring so fun and rewarding!

Since I already had several zinnia colored, I arranged them to correspond to the Sketch 104 Challenge. I was thrilled to see how nice they all looked together!

I love the Flowering Zinnia Designer Series Paper and but also wanted to use the Zinnia 3D Embossing Folder. So I decided to emboss the Designer Series Paper. It is very subtle and adds texture to the card.

Measurements

Melon Mambo cardstock card base: 5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″ scored at
4 1/4″
Basic White cardstock: 4 1/4″ x 5 1/2″ (for stamping the zinnia & leaves), 4″ x 5 1/4″ (inside) and 1/2″ x 5 1/2″ (for sentiment)
Flowering Zinnia Designer Series Paper, Petal Pink polka dot design: 4 1/8 ” x 5 3/8″ (to die cut with the largest Deckled Rectangle Die & emboss with the Zinnia 3D Embossing Folder)
NOTE: save the edges when you die cut the Deckled Rectangle to use on the inside of the card

Supplies

Stamp Set: Simply Zinnia
Dies: Simply Zinnia & Deckled Rectangle
Embossing Folder: Zinnia 3D
Ink: Blackberry Bliss and Memento Ink Pads
Stampin’ Blends: Lemon Lolly, Daffodil Delight, Pumpkin Pie, Flirty Flamingo, Melon Mambo, Lemon Lime Twist, Old Olive & Mossy Meadow
Embellishments: Adhesive-Backed Shiny Sequins

Instructions

Fold the Melon Mambo cardstock card base at the 4 1/4″ scoreline and burnish with the Bone Folder. Set aside.
Die cut the Flowering Zinnia Designer Series Paper with the largerst Deckled Rectangle Die. Save the edges to use for the inside of the card.
Run the Deckled Rectangle through the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine with the Zinnia Embossing Folder. Set aside.
Use Memento Ink to stamp the large zinnia three times and the leaves twice onto the 4 1/4″ x 5 1/2″ Basic White cardstock.
TIP: Use the Heat Tool to dry the Memento Ink. Then when you use the Lemon Lolly Stampin’ Blend, the black Memento will not bleed into the Lemon Lolly.
Color the images as desired. I usually start by coloring the shadows with a the dark shade. Then I blend it with a medium shade. And finally I blend everything with the lighter color.
Die cut the zinnias and leaves with the Simply Zinnia Dies. Set aside.
Use Blackberry Bliss Ink to stamp the sentiment onto the
1/2″ x 5 1/2″ Basic White cardstock. Stamp in the center as you will use the whole piece.
For the inside, use the scrap from cutting the Deckled Rectangle from the Flowering Zinnia Designer Series paper and adhere it to the 4″ x 5 1/4″ Basic White cardstock as shown below.

Assembling the Card

Adhere the inside card piece to the inside of the Melon Mambo cardstock card base.

Adhere the die cut and embossed Flowering Zinnia Designer Series Paper to the front of the card base.
Use Stampin’ Dimensionals to adhere the sentiment to the front of of the card.
Arrange the 3 zinnias on the card front. Adhere the top zinnia flat to the card front. Use 3 thicknesses of Basic White cardstock on the back of the middle zinnia. Then adhere the bottom zinnia with Stampin’ Dimensionals. Tip: place Dimensionals in the center of the back of the zinnia so you can place the leaves more easily.
Adhere the leaves.
Use Wink of Stella on the zinnia for extra sparkle.
Embellish with the Adhesive-Backed Shiny Sequins as desired.

Stippled Roses Congratulations Card for the Ink and Inspiration Blog Hop-February 2024

Posted on February 22, 2024February 21, 2024 by Theresa's Treasures

Hello fellow stampers! I am Theresa McEntee-author of Theresa’s Treasures Paper Crafts. I am hopping along with the Ink & Inspiration Blog Hop today with my Stippled Roses Congratulations Card for the Ink and Inspiration Blog Hop-February 2024. You can visit super awesome blogs from around the world! The list to follow the hop is at the end of my blog post. Please stop by and see everyone’s projects!

The Ink & Inspiration Challenge is both an image and a color challenge. I was inspired by the image of the roses in the center of the image. I love roses-the color, the scent, and the wonderful feeling I get when I receive them. Roses are also very nice to send to others!

Real roses can be very expensive and only live for a short time. Creating a card with roses is more managable and can last forever!

Measurements

Calypso Coral cardstock (cs) card base: 4 1/4″ x 11″ scored at 5 1/2″
Calypso Coral cs: 2 3/8″ x 5 1/2″
Softly Stippled Designer Series Paper (DSP):
- Calypso Coral background: 4 1/8″ x 5 3/8″
- Wild Wheat burlap pattern: 2 1/4″ x 5 3/8″
Very Vanilla cs:
- inside: 4″ x 5 1/4″
- sentiment: 3/4″ x 2 3/4″
- for stamping the roses: 4″ x 5″

Supplies

Stamp Set: Stippled Roses
Dies: Stippled Roses
Ink: Stazon Saddle Brown and Parakeet Party Ink pads
Stampin’ Blends Alcohol Markers: Petal Pink, Calypso Coral, Cajun Craze, Bubble Bath, Lemon Lolly, Parakeet Party, Lemon Lime Twist & Granny Apple Green
Watercolor Pencils: Calypso Coral, Daffodil Delight, Pumpkin Pie & Granny Apple Green
Embellishments: Iridescent Pastel Gems
Ribbon: 1/8″ Metallic Woven Ribbon in Parakeet Party

Instructions

Stamp the roses in Stazon Saddle Brown ink onto the 4″ x 5″ Very Vanilla cs.
Pick out the Stampin’ Blends and Watercolor Pencils. It may take 1- 1 1/2 hours to color the roses.
Start with the darkest color of alcohol ink and just color where there are already shadows.
Then blend in the next lightest color. Continue to apply small amounts of ink with the markers until you have the desired look. Note: there is a Facebook Page by Alison Tilsner that you can join called Blends & Beyond. In Guide 1 there is a video she made that I followed to color the roses.

After you have the Alcohol Markers down, enhance the colors with the Watercolor Pencils.
Stamp the smaller rose in Stazon Saddle Brown Ink onto the inside Very Vanilla cs and color.
The senntiment is stamped in Parakeet Party Ink.
Assemble the card. Use Stampin’ Dimensionals for the burlap strip on the card front.

I hope you enjoyed my card. Coloring takes a lot of trial and error. If it doesn’t come out the way you like at first, try again. Enjoy the Blog Hop for more ideas with this theme!

Trucking Along Bundle for the Inspirations in Ink Fun Fold Blog Hop – September 2023

Posted on August 30, 2023August 30, 2023 by Theresa's Treasures

Today I have an awesome Trucking Along Bundle Slit Slider Birthday Card!

Welcome and thanks for visiting Theresa’s Treasures Paper Crafts! I am Theresa, a Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator in Arizona, USA. Today is the monthly Inspirations in Ink Blog Hop! I am excited to be hopping with talented demonstrators from around the world. Be sure to check out everyone’s Fun Fold projects. The Trucking Along Bundle is an Online Exclusive and is not found in any catalog. You may order from my Online Store HERE.

Today’s Blog Hop is a Fun Fold Hop. Each of us is demonstrating a different Fun Fold. I first learned about the Slit Slider Card from Tina Hamp, who learned it from Julie Davidson. Tina made a Slit Slider Card with the Legendary Ride motorcylcle set. Julie did a cute Slit Slider Card with an octopus. Julie has a video demonstrator of her card HERE.

Measurements

Early Espresso cardstock card base: 5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″ scored at 1/2″ & 4 1/2″
Basic White cardstock: 3 3/4″ x 5 1/4″ (inside) and 3/4″ x 3″ (mechanism)
One Horse Open Sleigh 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper (DSP):
3 3/4″ x 5 1/4″

Supplies

Trucking Along stamp set & punch
Beside Me stamp (Celebrating You Today sentiment)
Peaceful Moments stamp (Happy Birthday sentiment)
Ink: Memento Black & Early Espresso
Stampin’ Blends Alcohol Markers: Pecan Pie, Boho Blue, Misty Moonlight, Azure Afternoon, Night of Navy, Blueberry Bushel Basic Black, Smoky Slate, Gray Granite and Color Lifter
Foam Adhesive Strip
Multipurpose Liquid Glue
Tear & Tape Adhesive
3/8″ Textured Ribbon in Boho Blue
Adhesive Backed Snowflake Assortment (Online Exclusive)
Iridescent Rhinestone Basic Jewels
Wink of Stella

Instructions

Prepare the Card Base

Adhere the designer series paper to the Early Espresso card base.
Make a circular finger notch at the midline of the DSP panel on the left. (Use the Circle Dies or the retired 1″ circle punch)
Place the Early Espresso card base in your trimmer at the 1 1/2″ mark, with the 1/2″ score line to the left.

Make a cut from 3/4″ down to 4 3/4″.

Stamping

Use Memento Ink to stamp the pick up truck on a scrap of Basic White cardstock. Stamp the “Farm Fresh” sentiment on the door.
Color with the Stampin’ Blends Alcohol Markers as desired.

Stamp the “Happy Birthday” sentiment on the Basic White cardstock for the inside. Punch a hole in the midline near the left edge for the ribbon. Thread the ribbon through the hole. Tip: this ribbon frays easily so I used a lighter to melt the ends.
Stamp “Celebrate You Today” to straddle the slit and so that it will hide behind the pick up truck.

Putting it Together

Take out the 3/4″ x 3″ Basic White cardstock strip. Add a strip of the Adhesive Foam Strips to the bottom as close to the edge as possible. This is the mechanism for moving the pick up.

Slide the strip into the slit, up underneath until the strip of Foam Adhesive Strips is close to the slit.
Flip this over.

Apply Multipurpose Liquid Glue (or Tear & Tape) to 2/3 of the top of the Basic White cardstock strip.
Adhere the Basic White cardstock with the Happy Birthday sentiment to the strip by laying it in position to cover the panel. Be sure the Happy Birthday is on the back to the right.

Fold the Early Espresso cardstock on the score lines. Use a strip of Tear & Tape on the 1/2″ flap. Fold the top panel down over the 1/2″ strip and secure it.
Flip over to the front. Adhere the pick up to the mechanism.

Add the Wink of Stella to the snow drifts.
Add the Iridescent Rhinestones as desired.

Voila!

Posted on June 5, 2023June 5, 2023 by Theresa's Treasures

Hello, thank you for visiting Theresa’s Treasures! I am Theresa, an Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator in Arizona, USA. I am extremely excited to be participating in Kylie Bertucci’s International Blog Highlight Gallery with my Night of Flight Thank You card! Today I am hopping along with Stampin’ Up! demonstrators from around the world! Please be sure to see all of the creative inspiration by visiting everyone’s blog. You can view the Gallery by clicking on the Vote Button below.

The theme for this Gallery is “Thank You“.

We often forget those simple words “Thank you”. However, it is so very important to show appreciation to the people in your life who have helped you, supported you or inspired you. One way to express gratitude is to send a handmade thank you card. Discover the joy in making and sending a handmade card!

I was interested in a blue moth and found several awesome photos on Google. I combined elements of the 2 moths above to create the moth on the Night of Flight Thank You card.

Instructions

Stamp the large moth in Memento Ink onto the Basic White cardstock.
Stamp the inside of the wings in Azure Afternoon ink.
Use the Basic Black Stampin’ Write Marker to draw the “eyes” on the wings.
Use the Stampin’ Blends to color the wings.
Fussy cut the moth with the Paper Snips. Use the bone folder to slightly curve the wings and set aside.
Use the Exposed Brick 3D Embossing Folder to emboss the Copper Clay cardstock.
Lightly drag the Copper Clay Ink Pad over the embossed Copper Clay cardstock with the raised side up. This adds dimension to the brick wall.
Cut the Crumb Cake cardstock into 3/4″ x 2″ and 1″ x 2″ strips.
Use the Copper Clay Ink to stamp the sentiment “thanks” onto the 3/4″ x 2″ strip.
Place the 3 Crumb Cake cardstock strips in the Timber 3D Embossing Folder and run through the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine.
Cut the 1″ x 2″ embossed Crumb Cake cardstock strip into a
1″ x 1 1/2″ piece. Then cut in half so you get two 1/2″ x 1 1/2″ pieces to use for the posts of the sign.
Die cut 3 leaves with the Cheerful Daisies Dies from the 3″ x 4″ Mossy Meadow cardstock.
Adhere the Very Vanilla cardstock to the inside of the Mossy Meadow card base.
Now adhere the embossed Copper Clay cardstock to the front of the card base.
Use Stampin’ Dimensionals to adhere the moth.
Glue the sign posts to the Thanks sign and adhere to the card front.
Add the Mossy Meadow cardstock diecut leaves.

For some extra sparkle, brush on the Wink of Stella to the moth’s wings.

Voila!

I hope you enjoyed my card today using the Night of Flight Host Set.

Instructions

Images

Use the Memento Black Ink to stamp the bird onto the 2 1/2″ x
2 3/4″ Very Vanilla cardstock. Color the bird with the Stampin’ Blends Alcohol Markers as desired. Die cut the bird with the Aspen Dies.

Stamp the branch in Copper Clay Ink onto the 1 1/2″ x 5 1/2″ Copper Clay cardstock. Die cut the branch with the Aspen Dies.
Stamp the flowers from the Sentimental Park stamp set onto the Moody Mauve cardstock using Moody Mauve Ink. Die cut the flowers with the Sentimental Park Dies.

Blending the Background

Take out the Basic White cardstock. Start with the Boho Blue Ink and a Blending Brush.
Apply the ink by moving the Blending Brush gently on the ink pad in small circles.
Rub some of the ink off onto a scrap paper. Then apply the ink in small circles to the Basic White cardstock.

After you have a smooth area of Boho Blue, apply the Pebbled Path Ink with another Blending Brush to the bottom. Tip: I have a different Blending Brush for each of the main colors (red, pink, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple, black and brown) so I do not have to wash them in between projects.

Next blend in the Wild Wheat Ink over the Boho Blue.
Follow with the Copper Clay Ink blended over the Wild Wheat layer.
Finally blend the Moody Mauve Ink on the top of the Basic White cardstock.

Finishing Up

Stamp the sentiment “Thinking of You” from the Go to Greetings stamp set onto the 1″ x 2 3/4″ Very Vanilla cardstock with the Boho Blue Ink. Die cut with the Countryside Corners Dies.
Use a Sponge Dauber and the Copper Clay Ink to sponge the edges of the sentiment.
Using the Moody Mauve Ink and the flowers from the Sentimental Park stamp set, stamp on the inside of the Very Vanilla cardstock card base.

Die cut the card front oval with the trees from the 4″x 5 1/4″ Copper Clay cardstock using the Aspen Dies.
Adhere the Copper Clay cardstock with the diecut trees to the Basic White cardstock with the blended ink on it using the Multipurpose Liquid Glue.
Now adhere this card piece to the front of the Very Vanilla cardstock card base.
Lay the tree branch on the card front and trim. Then adhere the tree branch to the card front with the Liquid Glue.
Adhere the Moody Mauve flowers.
Use Stampin’ Dimensionals to adhere the bird and the sentiment.
Add the Daffodil Delight Glossy Dots to the center of the flowers.
Apply Wink of Stella to the bird and flowers.

Kylie’s International Blog Highlights Gallery-February 2023: Beside Me Thank You Card

Posted on February 6, 2023February 5, 2023 by Theresa's Treasures

Hello, thank you for visiting Theresa’s Treasures. I am Theresa, an Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator in Arizona, USA. I am super excited to be participating in Kylie Bertucci’s International Blog Highlight Gallery with my Beside Me Thank You Card, along with Stampin’ Up! demonstrators from around the world! The theme for this Gallery is “Thank You”.

We often forget those simple words “Thank you”. However, it is super important to show appreciation to the people in your life who have helped you, supported you or inspired you. One way to express gratitude is to send a handmade thank you card. Discover the joy in making and sending a handmade card!

The Beside Me Thank You Card showcases the Beside Me stamp set, the Blending Brushes and Small Blending Brushes, and the Deckled Rectangle Dies. The coloring is done with the Stampin’ Blends Alcohol Markers. There is also a unique use of a stamp from the FREE Thanks a Bunch stamp set you can earn during Sale-a-bration!

Current Host Code: B223KFE9

Measurements

Tahitian Tide card stock (cs): 4 1/4 x 11 inches scored at
5 1/2 inches
Basic White cs: 4 1/8 x 5 3/8 inches, 4 x 5 1/4 inches 3 1/2 x 4 3/4 inches and 2 x 2 1/2 inches(sentiment)

Supplies

Beside Me Stamp Set
Deckled Rectangle Dies
Layering Circles Dies
Ink: Mango Melody, Pool Party, Coastal Cabana, Bermuda Bay, Tahitian Tide, Basic Grey and Memento Black.
Stampin’ Blends Alcohol Markers: Fresh Freesia, Tahitian Tide, Granny Apple Green, Night of Navy, Daffodil Delight, Medium Combo (400& 500), Medium Light (700) and Bronze.

Instructions

Top Layer

Lay the 3rd from the largest Deckled Rectangle in the center of the 4 1/8 x 5 3/8 inch Basic White cs. Use a pencil to lightly trace the inside of the bottom. Note: This will help with stamp placement.
Use the Stamparatus to position the stamp with the image of the man and children fishing. Stamp in Memento Ink. Also stamp an image onto a piece of full-stick sticky note paper.

Place the Deckled Rectangle Die back on the Basic White cs using the traced pencil line on the inside of the die as a guide.
Partially cut the Deckled Rectangle leaving the area with the pencil mark uncut. This is called a Partial Die Cut. Position the top clear plate at the border of the area to cut. Then run through the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine. The die that is not under the clear plate will not cut.

Fussy cut the top of the image of the man & children on the Basic White cs and the sticky note paper. Cut off the fishing poles. These will be drawn in later. Place the sticky paper over the image.
Use a repositionable tape runner to adhere the 3 1/2 x 4 3/4 inch Basic White cs to the back of the die cut card piece. This will be the background piece.

Blending

Now for the fun part! Use the Blending Brushes and Small Blending Brushes to create the sunrise on the water.
Start by die cutting a 1 inch circle from the full-stick sticky note paper.
Use sticky note tape to create the horizon.
Use a Small Blending Brush to lightly apply some Mango Melody Ink to the area where you want the sun to rise. Then cover with the 1 inch sticky circle.
Start with the Mango Melody Ink and blend in a darker halo around the “sun”.
Then use the Small Blending Brushes to blend in Pool Party Ink followed by Coastal Cabana Ink. Use the larger Blending Brush to apply the Tahitian Tide Ink. Note: If you want the color to be as dark as my card, be patient. It takes awhile.
Remove the sticky note circle and horizon sticky note tape.

Move the “horizon” so that you can create the water. Tip: Place the sticky note tape for the horizon with a millimeter or two of the horizon showing underneath. This avoids having a white line between the sky and the water.
Apply a light layer of Mango Melody Ink under the “sun”. You may also leave a small amount of the space white.
Repeat the blending of the inks as you did for the sky. Using the small Blending Brushes, with Pool Party Ink and then Coastal Cabana Ink. Add in Bermuda Bay Ink. Use the larger Blending Brush to apply the Tahitian Tide Ink. Remove the sticky note tape.

Remove the sticky note paper from the image. Separate the background piece from the front.
Use the Blending Brushes and the inks to color in the white space on the background piece. This doesn’t have to be perfect. Color in just enough so that there is not a bright white space.

Stampin’ Blends

Use the Stampin’ Blends to color the man & children as desired. Colors used on this card are listed in the Supply List above and the Clickable Supply List below.

Use a small stamp from the FREE Thanks a Bunch stamp set to create gentle waves on the water. Waves are added to both the background and the edges of the front panel. Try the Pool Party Ink first. If you want the waves to be darker, use the Coastal Cabana Ink. Tip: less is more!
Adhere the background piece to the front of the Tahitian Tide cs card base.

Stamp the image of the flying birds in Basic Grey Ink. Note: I forgot to stamp the birds until after I had put the card together, lol!
Draw in the fishing poles using the Stampin’ Write Basic Black Marker.
Use Stampin’ Dimensionals to adhere the top layer to the card front. Take care to line up the edges and the outline of the people.

Sentiment

Create the sentiment by using the 3rd from the smallest Deckled Rectangle Die. By placing the die near the words, you can make a small deckled rectangle to fit just right.

Use Stampin’ Dimensionals to adhere the sentiment.

Voila!

I hope you enjoyed my card today using the Beside Me stamp set and the new Small Blending Brushes.
