Sand and Sea Card

Hey friends, today I'm popping in to share this no-line colored scene, featuring the By The Sea stamp set from Sweet N Sassy Stamps. Last month, we headed to Tybee Island and I had the pleasure of visiting the brick and mortar store for SNSS, The Stamper's Boutique. I also met owner Korin Sutherland who is an absolute sweetheart! Needless to say, I was totally inspired by my surroundings, and this is one of the stamp sets I picked up while I was there.

Next time, I will probably go a little darker on my adirondack chair, so there's more distinction from the sandy beach. My image is one entire stamp (except for the sky) which was stamped using my Misti stamp positioner and Inkon3 fadeout ink, which I then colored in with Copic markers.

For my waves, I used a blue/green Copic marker (BG13) to outline the wave marks from the stamp, then blended out my color (using other blue/green markers), leaving some white space and enhancing the waves with a white gel pen. I do not consider myself an expert, coloring scenes. In fact, this was a total experiment that thankfully worked out, for the most part, haha!

You'll notice I used my gel pen on the chair and sand as well. It's one of my most used pens when cardmaking. I also took liberties with the sand, adding darker blending to create a "sandy hillside" effect. Again, just experimenting but I love how it looks. Once I colored in my scene, I used a cloud stencil and worked around my images, stenciling with Aquatini ink from Catherine Pooler Ink. The colors are so lush and The Stamper's Boutique has an extensive line of CP inks in their shop.  Bonus!



I really didn't want to add anything else to my scene, so I stamped a sentiment on the inside of my card and called it a day. Thanks so much for stopping by and if you'd like to do some shopping, I have convenient affiliate links below.  Have a great day!
