Quick post today! I was going through my camera roll, saw this card that I had photographed and thought that I had shared! Then I realized I had not! So need to remedy that quickly! Hee. In case I haven't mentioned it before, I LOVE SEA TURTLES!
So yes ... I really love the Sea Turtle Stamp Set from Stampin' Up! And I really love how this birthday card came out. Hee.
🐢 Polka Dot Background! Yes, I do this a lot. Because I love polka dots, it's easy, & you can have a background in any color you want! Simply take a sponge dauber, ink in Coastal Cabana, press onto the Basic White cardstock, and twist! Easy breezy polka dot! Then repeat!
🐢 Turtle color variation! Ink in Lemon Lime Twist ink. DO NOT STAMP YET! Ink a Sponge Dauber in Granny Apple Green & pounce lightly on the inked turtle in a few places. Then stamp! Simple to do, but packs a punch!
🐢 Cutting sentiments! I LOVE the Phrases For All Stamp Set (retiring soon & discounted! Get it before it's gone!!) And I love how a simple SIMPLE step can make such a difference! This one ... simple cut the sentiment apart after stamping! I know, right?! This block font is super easy, but cutting off a lot of the excess cardstock around the sentiment, and getting to layer the words how you want, makes a big difference in the overall asthetic of your card! I highly recommend trying it!
🐢 Distressing! Distressing edges is an easy way to add some texture without bulk. I just use the edge of one of the blades of my Paper Snips & run it over the edges. Another easy, yet fun!, way to add some quick texture!
