Today I am sharing the cards I designed for my August classes using the Sea Turtles stamp set. This is a reversible stamp set where you can used both the front and the back of each stamp.

Colours used in these projects are:

Baby Turtles card

Pool Party card – 8¾” by 4⅛”– scored at 5⅞”
Calypso Coral – 5⅞” by 1” – Embossed using one of the Basics 3D Embossing Folders
Summer Splash – 5⅞” by ⅛”
Pecan Pie – 5⅛” by 3⅜”
Basic White – 5” by 3¼”
Pool Party – 3¼” by ⅜”
Calypso Coral – 3¼” by ¼”
Basic White – 5½” by 3¾”

I took 2 damp baby wipes, folded them in half, one on top of the other and placed them  inside an empty stamp case. You can use anything firm and waterproof such as a plate or the glass mat. Onto the folded up baby wipes I added about 10 – 12 drops of Calypso Coral re-inker, 10 – 12 drops of Coastal Cabana re-inker and 8 – 10 drops of Pecan Pie re-inker. The dots gradually sread, filling the space between them.

We pressed the baby turtle image onto the inked baby wipes and stamped it randomly all over the 5” by 3¼” piece of Basic White card.

The back of the ‘bubble’ image was inked with Pool Party, stamped off twice then stamped over the stamped baby turtles to give the illusion of water. This was repeated all over the panel. The inked panel was then glued to the Pecan Pie panel.

We glued the embossed Calypso Coral strip to the front of the Pool Party card front. The thin strip of Summer Splash was glued next to it and the stamped panel added overtop on Dimensionals.

The sentiment, from the Attention Shoppers stamp set was stamped in Pecan Pie ink onto the strip of Pool Party card. The strip of Calypso Coral card was adhered to the back with a little peeking out the bottom. The sentiment piece was glued to the card front. A white Baker’s Twine bow finished the card.
