Hi, friends!
I hope that everyone is having a great summer! Mine has been great so far. I've been able to enjoy some time off while also keeping up with my crafting time. Speaking of summer, today's card is a celebration of it featuring another one of the Rick St. Dennis bear stamps. Who doesn't love spending some time at the beach? A little fun in the sun is good for the soul - even if you're a bear! My inspiration for the card was a picture of the bear on the beach being given to say hello to a friend. What sets this card apart from others is that the card panel background is completely made up of sequins. It was the first time that I've tried this and I am really happy with the results. What do you think?
Here's what I used to create it:
- Beach Costume Bear by Rick St Dennis Line Art Rubber Stamp
- Special Day CLEAR Sentiments Flowers Stamp Set designed by Pam Bray
Here's how I made it:
- Adhered turquoise card panel to card base with double sided tape and stamped the sentiment at the top.
- Stamped the bear onto the smaller white card panel and colored it with alcohol markers, pastel gel pens, and glitter gels pens.
- Starting at the bottom of the card, glued sequins down to the card base and worked my way up to the top: used cream, brown, and gold sequins for the sand and rocks; turquoise sequins for the ocean; light blue sequins for the sky; silver sequins for a couple of clouds; and yellow sequins for the sun.
- Adhered the smaller panel to the card; angled the smaller panel to give it a more relaxed, whimsical feel.
I love how the sequined backgrounds almost mimics a mosaic type of look! It's also nice that some of them are a little more flat and others are a little more shiny to break it up. I am definitely going to try this technique again!
