Bring seaside vibes to your next card creation with this stunning lighthouse card set against layers of stenciled and cover die intricacies.
The Creative Medley release went live last week and we are back today with more inspiration. Marla’s card features two of our new products. We love how she seamlessly combined both our 5922D Crashing Waves Die and 4501 Deco Arches Stencil. The combination of products seems unlikely but adds soft texture and movement to the background without being too busy. The trick is the light application of color muted with splatters of water. This really is such a beautiful and elegant card creation with so much depth. Follow along as Marla shows us how to make a nautical scene with intricate layers.
- Use two of our 5917-01D Rounded Marquee Nested Dies, in white cardstock to create a frame and ink it with Distress Ink in Bundled Sage.
- Cut a second frame using two of the next smallest dies from white cardstock.
- Ink the center of the smaller frame’s center using Distress Ink in Tumbled Glass for the sky and a combination of Tumbled Glass and Salty Ocean for the sea.
- Add waves and sea foam using Dr. PH Martin’s no bleed white ink
- Die cut the lighthouse, rocks and house using our 5739 Lighthouse and Sail Boats Die
- Ink the pieces and assemble.
- Stamp the sentiment onto the inked marquee background using the sentiment from our 37047 Happy Retirement stamp set.
- Cut a seagull from white cardstock using our 5817-02D Seagulls and Sandpipers Die
- Assemble the scene.
- Cut a white card panel using our 5011D Small Stitch Nested Rectangle Die
- Ink the background using our 4501 Deco Arches Stencil and Distress Ink in Bundled Sage, Unchartered Mariner and Forest Moss ink.
- Cut a overlay panel from white cardstock and our 5922D Crashing Waves Cover Die
- Assemble the card.
