This week I’m using the Sea Turtle photopolymer stamp set. It’s a reversible set and today I’m just using the detailed sides of the stamps. Eventually, that is!
A white layer was coloured using Blending Brushes and Lost Lagoon and Orchid Oasis ink. I had tried watercolouring but it is easier to control the colours with the blending brushes.
Actually I learned a number of things whilst making this Sea Turtle card. My white embossing powder was not good – I think it’s only the second pot in about eight years. Grabbing a new one was helpful. I also discovered that it’s important to check which way up the reversible stamp is! I got some very undetailed images until I turned it over!
White craft ink was used instead of versamark; although that was probably an historic thing from using old powder. I stamped the turtles and heat embossed in my new white powder which was much better. Then the sentiment from Layering Leaves was added in and also heat embossed in white. The layer was added to an Orchid Oasis card base. Finally some of the 2022-2024 in color pearls were added.
I will be making this card, along with 2 others on my Facebook Live on Sunday eastern at 11am. You can watch live, see the replay or check it out on YouTube.
When you place a $25 order with me, I’ll send you the cut card stock for free. Also if you share my live, I’ll put you in the raffle for a free embellishment plus a card.
