Hi there,
it’s Tanja here and today I would like to show you how to create this card and how to make your own custom-made sentiments:
Step 1: Die Cutting
- die cut a background panel and a wave border from watercolor paper with one of the Stitched Rectangles and one of the Ocean Edges
- die cut the Lighthouse elements from white Soft Finish Cardstock
Step 2: Add Color
- color the background with Distress Oxide Ink (Tumbled Glass, Faded Jeans) and a Blending Brush
- add water droplets for more texture
- add color to the wave border with Distress Oxide Ink (Salty Ocean, Chipped Sapphire) and add some splatters with watered-down Distress Oxide Ink Chipped Sapphire
- for the seafoam ink up the edge of the wave border with Versamark and heat-emboss it with WOW! Seafoam White embossing powder
- color the lighthouse with Alcohol Markers
Step 3: Assembly and Finishing Touches
- assemble the Lighthouse and the background – use clear double-sided adhesive and liquid glue
- add white highlights with a white gel pen
Step 4: Create a custom-made Sentiment
- there a several ways to create custom-made sentiments: you can use calligraphy or just your handwriting or a Labelmaker … in this case I used a Vintage Typewriter to type my sentiment onto sturdy white cardstock
- cut the sentiment apart and ink up the edges with Distress Oxide Ink Pumice Stone
- adhere the panel to a grey cardbase
I hope you got inspired.
Hugs,
