Hello, Debbie here with the next project using the
contents of the Deep Sea Collection kit available at
Scrapendipity.
Today, I am switching from layouts and on to making a card
from the kit. Included in the kit is a great stamp set featuring turtles and
shells. I picked out a piece of paper from the kit that looked like water but
wasn't too dark as I wanted to colour right over the background paper for a
one-layer card. I used Gina K Amalgam ink as it can be used for both
water colouring and alcohol ink-based projects without smearing. The trick with
this project is to use a stamp positioner and leave the stamps where they are
after stamping. I decided to use pencil crayons and Gamsol to colour the
images. After the colouring was complete, I put the image back in the
positioner. I liberally patted the image with an embossing buddy and then
stamped it as before using Versamark ink. I added clear embossing powder and
heat set it.
The image literally came alive with this treatment. I white heat
embossed the sentiment from the stamp set on a piece of black cardstock and
attached it with foam tape for dimension. Finally, I added tiny bubbles from my
stash, but the same effect could be achieved using the small rhinestones that
are included in the kit.
Have I used everything in the kit? Not even close. Watch
for my next post where the rhinestones and wooden embellishments get a workout.
Stay tuned!
