Two For Tuesday: Message in a Bottle
August 22, 2017
It's Two For Tuesday (TFT)! I have a couple of cards for you using the fun Message in a Bottle stamp set. This is a new stamp set this year and it's filled with whimsical sea friends, oceanic creatures and tons of punny greetings. All you need now is a bit of creativity and some wind in your hair!
Message in a Bottle - Mermaid
- Adhere four 1-3/16 squares (Layering Squares Framelits Dies) to 4" x 5-1/4" piece of Whisper White cardstock (Perfect Plum, Bermuda Bay, Rich Razzleberry, Soft Sky cardstock)
- Wrap Bermuda Bay 3/8" Stitched Satin Ribbon around panel and tie in a bow.
- Adhere to folded 11" x 4-1/4" Soft Sky card base.
- On 2-1/8 Whisper White Circle (Layering Circle Framelits Dies), stamp greeting with Soft Sky ink, and mermaid with Basic Gray ink.
- Use Blender Pen and Watercolor Pencils to color mermaid - (Rich Razzleberry=tail, Bermuda Bay=hat, shells). Adhere to card with card with Stampin' Dimensionals.
Message in a Bottle - Boat
- 1-3/16" squares are nautical inspired colors = Pool Party, Real Red, Basic Gray & Night of Navy, with Pool Party Baker's Twine
- Card base is Basic Gray
- Stamp image with Basic Gray ink, and greeting with Night of Navy ink.
- Use Watercolor Pencils - Real Red and Basic Gray to color flags
I can't get over how stinkin' cute this stamp set is! Add the fun blocks of color to communicate the theme of your card and you've got a home run! I think you'll see me using this color-block layout again.
Stop by tomorrow for another Message in the Bottle QC card. And be sure to add it to your shopping bag, so you can start playing with it right away!
