Sand and Starfish Card for Spellbinders

I have another card featuring the new Simon Hurley/Ranger Ink release, sent to me by my lovely friends at Spellbinders. This is my second card using the Smooth Sailing stamp and die set. I wanted to create a sandy beach scene to accent those gorgeous, etched starfish dies. Scroll down for creative details. You'll also find clickable product links at the end of this post.

To begin, I did some ink smooshing on an A2 white card panel, using the inks you see below. If you've never tried ink smooshing, its' super easy! Just press your ink pad onto a craft mat and spritz with water, then randomly pat sections of your card panel in the mix. Heat dry your wet card in between colors. I started with the Vintage Photo, and finished with the Rusty Hinge ink.

When done, I did some ink blending with a blender brush on all four corners of the panel using the Vintage Photo Ink. 






I also splattered black paint and white paint around my card. I typically drop some of my paint onto my craft mat and spritz with a little water and mix with a paintbrush, then splatter all around.






I love embossing card panels as a backdrop for my focal point. It gives so much added interest to a card, even when just a little of the embossing is peeking out from behind a card panel! I used the Geo Screen 3D embossing folder with my Platinum 6. The design reminds me of a compass and is very fitting for a nautical or beach themed card.






Next, I ran the etched and outline starfish dies with cardstock through my Platinum 6 to create 5 die cuts.  These were adhered in random areas around my card, offset on the card panel edges and trimmed from the edge.

If you follow me on Instagram, I shared a short video in my stories today, showing how I popped out the inner ridges of those starfish using a stylus to give more definition. 




 
Lastly, I did some heat embossing on torn kraft paper for my sentiment and inked up the edges using Ranger Ground Espresso distress ink. 

I hope you like this card as much as I do! Thanks so much for popping in. If you'd like to do some shopping through my affiliate links, I'd appreciate it so much. These links are provided at no additional cost to you. See you again soon!
