I can't believe I have 2 masculine cards in a row, I think that's a first!
This card will be entered into the Challenges at; Stamp TV, Scenic Silhouettes and Simon Says Wednesday, Anything Goes!
I created a wood grain background first. I just swiped a few different colors of ink directly on my white card stock, which is scored every 1/2". I used the Gina K Designs stamp set, By The Sea 2.....love this set! I sponged my backgrounds first, sea and sky and then stamped my pier in Black Raven ink and my gulls in Dove Grey.
Spellbinders Classic Ovals die. My sentiment is heat set in White Embossing Powder. Inks in; Bermuda Bay, Pink Pirouette, Pool Party, Pumpkin Pie, So Saffron and Wisteria Wonder. Anytime I need help with sponging I head right on over to Theresa Momber's Blog, super helpful!!!
Thanks for combing by the beach.
Enjoy~~
This is absolutely BEAUTIFUL!!! Love the scene with the gorgeous background. Excellent!

ReplyDeleteI do love the wood grain look. It's so good for masculine cards! Great sponging!
ReplyDeleteLeaving on a jet plane, I know that I'll be home again. (two weeks) I have to stop and say that this is Naples pier and we will soon be there. Love this, almost forgot that I have the stamp. Thanks for the inspiration, I am throwing one more set into my bag. Stunning card!
ReplyDeleteDonna, how lovely using the two scenes like this - I especially like the orb creating a somewhat close-up of the distant scene behind it. Gorgeous inking and shading and one of the prettiest sea-shore scenes I've ever seen! Gorgeous! hugs, de
