By the Tide

This is a great stamp set and a nice change from floral stamps. I think especially it makes for a great masculine card.

This first one is in Early Expresso card and is matted with Crumb Cake. The Whisper White panel was stamped using an acrylic block which had been tapped with a Sahara Sand inkpad and then spritzed with water. Once dry I stamped the images with Early Expresso ink.

This time I used Soft Suede for the card base and Very Vanilla for the front. Images were a mixture of By the Tide (stamped in Early Expresso) and Kinda Eclectic (stamped in Soft Suede). The writing and dots in the background were achieved by stamping off to make the image very light.

I like to do square cards occasionally even though they use up more cardstock. Soft Suede and Very Vanilla again. The splotches are from Gorgeous Grunge.

The panel was masked and then sponged with Bermuda Bay, Tempting Turquoise and Night of Navy. The images were stamped in black. I hand drew the bubbles.

Just a few examples of what can be done with this set.
