Whoo Hoo! Tomorrow is Friday! Today I wanted to share a card I made for the Can You Case It Challenge # 74 - Summer Fun. With the new Stampin' Up catalog that came out, I wanted to blend a new stamp with a stamp I already had in my stash. This card blends the "From Land to Sea" and "Wetlands" stamp set. I started with a background card base from Real Red. For the face of the card, I started by stamping the lighthouse image with Memento ink on the sticky part of a post-it note and used my paper snips to fussy cutting the image. I also punched out a 1/2" circle in the sticky portion of a post-it. I placed the images where I wanted them to show in my Whisper White card front. My Stampin' Up sponges were used to ink my sand, water, sky and sun. For the sand, I started with the Sarhara Sand ink, then lightly touched it with crumb cake to give it a bit of texture to represent sand. For the deeper water tone Marina Mist ink was used. I sponged around the lighthouse and was sure to secure the post-it image so that it did not move. I sponged the sky with the Soft Sky ink and lightly went over the 1/2" post it circle with the So Saffron ink. Once my sponging was complete, I used the grass and bird images and stamped the images appropriately. I removed the post-it's from the face of the card and stamped my light house image in Memento ink, using Real Red and Daffodil Delight blendabilities to finish the image. Using White Stazon, I sponged lightly around the base of the lightly and along the shoreline to represent the movement of the water. To finish the inking, I lightly sponged Basic Gray at the base of the lighthouse and used a Soft Suede marker to build the rocky base of the lighthouse. To complete the card, I added the Birthday greetings from the Wetlands stamp set and secured the face of the card to the card base. I know the instructions for this card are a bit lengthy, but I believe the card turned out beautifully. I hope you enjoy and Happy Stampin'!
