   I was inspired by the Color Scheme as well as the water splashes/droplets.
  
My take is Bling, Die Cut and Ink.
     
 
    I like to play with mixed media and layers while allowing some white space so that my eyes won’t feel too busy with overlapping colors. Maybe it could be called as Mixed Media CAS. Ha!

I need Vitamin SEA


Hi Artsy Friends,
It’s time to play along with Happy Little Stampers (HLS) ATC (Artist Trading Card/Coin) Challenge again. The September Challenge Theme is Ocean/Sea.
 
For Challenge Rules and other DTs’ inspirations, please check out the Challenge Blog.

Inspired by the Challenge Theme, I dug out a brand new old stamp set (you know what I mean!) and made the ATCs quickly. I’m happy about it and hope you like it too. Thanks for stopping by and wish you a great day ahead.


ATC Details
1. Apply various Distress Inks on cardstock.
2. Place Wave stencil (Memory Box) over cardstock. Spray water over stencil to get faded effect as seen.

3. Cut background panel into ATC size. Stamp text (Simon Says Stamp) in black. Apply Nuvo Glimmer Paste over dots stencils and let dry.


4. Stamp sailboat in red, die cut and attach to ATC panel. Voila!

Challenges to Enter
  
    My favorite way to add text is to use text stamps (either rubber stamps or clear stamps) to stamp with archival black ink on card stock.
