Seas The Day IPC 103

I am having a BLAST with the current Inky Paws Challenge

Since the days have been blazing hot here in Texas,

staying indoors and crafting is definitely an option!

 I used some of the NEW Newtons Nook Collection to create my card.

Starting with the background

Not one but TWO of the new stencils were used.

Clouds Stencil

And

Waves and Splashes Stencil

I started at the bottom to create my “Sandy Bottom Club” for my shrimp.

The lighter of the Distress Oxide Ink goes down on the paper first,

and then I highlighted with the darker color.

Once I had the shading that I wanted for my sea bottom,

I grabbed the Waves and Splashes Stencil

and turned my attention to the top.

Placing the stencil slightly over the bottom part,

I used my lighter Distress Ink color first and started to create “waves”.

 Ink blending my “waves” in with darker Distress Ink to outline the shape.

The lower “wave” I chose to keep the white imprint.

The upper “wave” I inked in with color to create some depth.

My featured image and sentiment come from the 

Scuba Newton Stamp Set.

The shrimps in the “Sandy Bottom Club" are from the

Shrimp Cocktails Stamp Set.

What a perfect pair to use on a card!

I hope this card inspires you to take some 

time and create card to share with us!

There is a link in the challenge picture above.

Thanks for stopping by.

Have a great rest of the week!
