Life is like the ocean

Hello creative friends!

I have 3 pretty cards to share today, using some stamps from the June release at Technique Junkies. I hope you'll enjoy them - they were fun to create!

First up is a Z-fold card featuring #SD1097 Stormy Sea Border, #SD990 Flowy Jellyfish, and #SD1137 Ocean Frame Sentiments

The first photo shows the card closed...

Look at how fun the scene becomes when the card opens!

Ink Blending Brushes and Distress Oxide Inks were used here. The ink colors were Salvaged Patina, Spun Sugar, and Chipped Sapphire.

Last up is a card using the beautiful #SD1137 Ocean Frame Sentiments, #SD990 Flowy Jellyfish, and A Colorful Life Designs 'Whale Stencil'. The same colors were used with Ink Blending Brushes to create this pretty card.

Framed Seascape

Hello!

It's June 1st - Release day at Technique Junkies! We have some awesome new stamps for you, and all of them are 15% off through June 8th! No codes are needed, just put them in your shopping cart and the discount will be applied at checkout. 

Here is the Gotta Have it all Bundle, and a little preview of the new stamps:

I've never created much with sea or beach related stamps, so I'd be lying if I said that this month didn't scare me a little (okay, a lot!).  All three of my cards use the image #S927 'Framed Seascape' and sentiments from the new set #SD1137 'Ocean Frame Sentiments'.

Without further chatter, here are my cards for today's hop:

For this first card, I used some blue alcohol inks and a silver mixative, and created a background. Then, I simply stamped the image and sentiment using black Staz-On ink and my stamp positioner. I'm pleased with the final outcome and hope you like it!

This time, I decided to get my Copics out, and color the scene. Once I had everything the way I wanted it, I fussy cut the entire panel, and popped it up on a card base with some dimensional foam. I'm pretty happy with this one, too!

Last, but not least, I went with simple again. I found a piece of designer paper and heat embossed the image and sentiment using Versamark Ink and white embossing powder. And...of course, my stamp positioner! Again, I fussy cut the panel, and adhered it directly to the card base.

So....which one is your favorite?

I hope you like these fun new releases, and can't wait for you to see the rest of this release!
