Today I’m joining in the Stampers Showcase Blog Hop and we’re all showcasing Stampin’ Up! products to create birthday themed projects! I used the By the Bay stamp set from the Sale-a-bration brochure to create a birthday card to share with you all.
My card design was inspired by Freshly Made Sketches #380.
And the nautical theme for my card was inspired by The Card Concept 111. I feel like my card is a clean and layered design.
I started by inking the brush stroke image from the Timeless Textures stamp set in Balmy Blue ink, stamping it on scrap paper and then stamping it across a Balmy Blue card base. Then I stamped the image from By the Bay stamp set (Sale-a-bration item) in StazOn Jet Black in on a panel of watercolor paper and I used Daffodil Delight, Blamy Blue, Gray Granite, Crumb Cake, Soft Suede, Calypso Coral, Pear Pizzazz and So Saffron inks and an Aqua Painter to watercolor the image.
I let the watercolored image dry completely and then adhered it with Multipurpose Liquid Glue to the card front. I cut the center from a panel from the Wood Textures DSP Stack with a Layering Squares Framelits Die and then I adhered 1/8″ strips of Wood Textures DSP to the back of the panel with SNAIL. I adhered the frame over the watercolored image with Foam Adhesive Strips.
I stamped the sentiment from the Itty Bitty Birthdays stamp set in Early Espresso ink under the frame to finish the card front.
I stamped the sentiment from the Itty Bitty Birthdays stamp set in Early Espresso ink and the birds from the By the Bay stamp set in Balmy Blue ink on a Whisper White card stock panel to finish the inside of the card.
