Oceanfront Backgrounds

Posted on April 11, 2022 by Josee

Dimensions

  • Pool Party: 5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″, scored at 4 1/4″
  • Pear Pizzazz: 4″ x 5 1/4″
  • Basic White: 3 3/4″ x 5″

Directions

  1. Stamp the top layer of the background with Pool Party ink, the middle part with Pear Pizzaz and the bottom part with Crumb Cake ink. I stamped the bottom layer twice so that it extends a bit.
  2. Stamp the 2 types of grass with Old Olive ink.
  3. Stamp the greeting from the new stamp set Good Feelings (coming out in the new Annual Catalogue) using Memento ink.
  4. Use the corner of the Memento ink to ink up the birds from the In the Moments stamp set, then stamp the birds on the card.
  5. Use the Crumb Cake ink to stamp the 2 rocks on a piece of scrap Basic White cardstock. For the single rock, I wanted some white space all around it so I took some washi tape to cover the bigger rock on the stamp. Once stamped, cut out using Paper Snips. Add them to the card using Dimensionals.

While making this card, I experimented with some other ideas:
