Inspiration Scripture Card for Erin Lee Creative

I have never loved a stencil set as much as this one. I've made several cards over the past few months with the Sunset Beach layering stencil from Erin Lee Creative. Erin has a huge sale going on right now with 60% off on the markdown category when you use code SEPTEMBER at checkout. While the layering stencil set is not included in the markdown sale (it is on sale though), the stamp set that I used, "Be The Light", is. I just purchased this stamp set specifically to pair it with my stencil set because I had an idea I wanted to try. With the coupon code, the stamp set is only $6.00! 

I know everyone is sliding into Fall cardmaking, I mean, I am too! However, the ocean, sky and sand were created by God Almighty and has no limitations to the four seasons. Unless of course, you count hurricane season! As I said, this is an inspiration card and my hope is that you are inspired!

Let me start by saying, there is no rhyme or reason behind my color choices. I simply start sifting through my inks and just start picking. I will say, I did have in mind for more of an early evening sky transitioning into a night sky theme. 

My inks for the sky are all Catherine Pooler:

Cove Blue, Frosted, Pebble and Slate

My sea also uses CP inks - Cove Blue and Sea Glass

My beach is Scrapbook.com hybrid ink in Leather 

Because this is an inspirational card, I wanted to also create some beams of light shining down from the Heavens. I used my mint tape to create a masked area (beam) so I could ink blend with white pigment ink.

If you try this, make sure you prep your tape if the ink on your cardstock is fresh and not completely dry. I generally lay the tape across my arm to pick up oils from my skin and help prevent the tape from sticking to my surface. Even so, you still need to carefully peel when removing the tape. It's best to have a dry surface but if you're too impatient like myself, these tricks help to avoid pulling up some of your inked surface and you don't want that to happen after all the gorgeous work you put in!

I also added paint splatters to my sky and a bit on the ocean. I see now that one splatter landed squarely on my sentiment, the word "Let". How the heck did that even happen? I laid a trimmed piece of cardstock across my stamped sentiment before splattering, haha.

I also added some glitter glue across the tops of some of my clouds, and also on the ocean. Because, why not? Never hurts to add a little sparkle, if you have some on hand and I have plenty!

All of my elements are adhered flat and my sentiment was stamped directly onto my inked card panel using my stamp positioner. I also chose a dark blue paper as the backdrop to my inked panel.

Let me know if you have any questions. I can't recommend the Be The Light stamp set enough. I'll be using it over and over. It has so many great, encouraging words of faith, lyrics to one of my favorite songs, and the scripture verse that I used above.

As always, I appreciate you using my affiliate links when you browse or shop. It allows Erin to see how customer traffic arrives to her site, and if you decide to make a purchase, I do receive a small commission, a few cents per dollar. Every little bit helps though!

I hope you have a fabulous rest of the week! Let me know if you have any questions in the comment section. Or, you can leave a kind word if you wish! Hugs!
