Hello my Stampin’ Friends!
Today’s card is for my step-daughter who just discovered kayaking and she absolutely loves it. She lives on the islands off of Seattle so there plenty of areas to kayak.
To create this card, start with a Basic White Thick Cardstock card base. Die cut a Basic White Cardstock panel with the 3rd largest dies in the Deckled Rectangle Dies. Cut a slightly larger (1/8″) black panel to layer with the front panel. I downloaded the image (not SU) of the trees, sun and kayak girl and then printed it out with my computer before die cutting the Basic White Front Panel. I colored in the sun with the Pumpkin Pie and Daffodil Delight Stampin’ Blends Markers. I sponged the sky and water with Balmy Blue Ink and a Blending Brush, leaving space at the bottom for the test.
I colored the image in the following Stampin’ Blends Markers:
- Skin – Petal Pink
- Top: Granny Apple Green
- Shorts – Crumb Cake
- Hat – Crumb Cake
- Flower on Hat: Fresh Freesia
- Hair – Daffodil Delight
- Paddles – Crumb Cake
- Kayak – Smoky Slate
- Sand – Crumb Cake
- Seat in Kayak – Granny Apple Green
Add the message “Your Best Life STARTS NOW” at the bottom of the scene using Tuxedo Black Ink. Mount the completed artwork onto the card base, ensuring clean edges.
The inside panel was embossed with the Painted Trees 3D Embossing Folder. The envelope flap was stamped with the trees from the Forever Forest Stamp Set.
