For the first day of the reveals, we are showcasing Corgi Beach + coordinating die with the Hibiscus and Pineapple Layering Stencils, PLUS three (3) new edge stencils. Here’s what they look like:
I started out with an A2 size panel of Bristol smooth white card stock and ink blended this piece with some distress oxide inks. I used the Waves edge stencil and the Clouds edge stencil to create the clouds and the water.
I stamped and colored my images on some Neenah solar white card stock and colored them in with my Spectrum Noir alcohol markers. I used the Sea Border and Sky Border dies to create more texture to my ink-blended panel. I adhered this piece on an A2-size side-fold card base and adhered the images with liquid and foam adhesive.
The coconut drink next to the Corgi is from the Aloha Newton stamp set. I love that you can mix and match the stamp sets available at the shop. To finish my design, I added glossy accents to the sunglasses and noses for added interest. Here’s a closer look:
For my second card, I stamped and colored my image from the Aloha Newton stamp set using Spectrum Noir Finesse Alcohol Proof Dye Ink and colored it in with my Spectrum Noir TriBlend markers. I ink-blended some white card stock using the new Clouds and Hill Edge stencils and die cut this piece with a scalloped border die from my stash.
I used the new Pineapple Layering Stencil with some distress oxide inks to ink-blend a panel of Bristol smooth white card stock. I used my Spectrum Noir TriBlend marker in Light Pink blend to add the dots. I attached an A2 size vellum, and adhered my focal image on the front of the card.
To finish my design, I added the sun, the coconut drink and the “Aloha” sentiment from the Aloha Newton die set. I also added glossy accents to the coconuts to add more texture and interest. Here’s a closer look at the card:
