I have been advertising the Waves Of The Ocean Suite early release. You can see all of the components towards the bottom of the post. So today I have a fun card made with the Waves Of Inspiration Bundle. Plus some added products from the suite.
I actually mixed quite a lot of different products to make this card. Please do not panic!! Most are ones that you would already have, or can substitute for.
Stamps
The beautiful waves are both stamped and die cut from the Waves of Inspiration Bundle. I love how the two together give such depth to the water. Also the little birds flying overhead are from the stamp set. This card probably has as many layers as any of my more advanced cards. And this one is really not. The various dimensions simply give that illusion.
For the sentiment, I wanted a sweet one and found it in the Paradise Palms stamp set. This is a great one for anyone who loves the beach. Sadly my beachy vacation is not for another few months. Making more of these cards may help me get over it.
Dies and Punches
As I mentioned above, the awesome Waves Dies are part of the Waves of Inspiration Bundle. There are actually two different waves. I chose to do them in two different colors for a more realistic ocean look. Since the ocean has such variation of the blue / green tones in it. The dies were used on the Blue Foils Specialty Paper that is a part of the Early Release of the Suite. They are gorgeous.
Trying to figure out the sentiment location and layers was the most difficult part of this card creation. I finally settled with the Label Me Fancy Punch for the sentiment itself. The shape reminds me of a metal tag or even dog tags. I wanted to add more of the Bermuda Bay color without overwhelming the other parts of the card. The punch I decided on is the Postage Stamp Punch. The edging and the size were perfect.
Other Touches
To finish the sentiment layer I added one of t he Rhinestone Waves Jewels. These vary from dark blue to an almost peridot green. I went with the lightest blue / green color. For a bit more of a “scene” look, I decided to add a sun behind the birds. This was done by using Inks and Blending Brushes. The upper corner started with Crushed Curry Ink. Then a bit of that area and below received Mango Melody. And the final area was just a touch of Pumpkin PIe. In person it shows more of the variation of colors than in the photo.
