Tropical Palms card for the Ink & Inspirations Blog Hop

Posted on January 26, 2023January 24, 2023 by Mo Rootes

Hello and welcome to the Ink & Inspiration Blog Hop whare we are sharing projects inspired by a picture and colour combo. I have used the Oceanfront and Paradise Palms stamp sets to make a card.

Colours used in this project are:

To recreate the Tropical Palms card, you will need:

Tahitian Tide card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” – scored at 4⅛”
Crumb Cake card – 5⅛” by 3⅜”
Fluid 100 card – 5” by 3¼”
Very Vanilla card – 2½” by 1”
Very Vanilla card – 5½” by 3¾” – for the inside

Using a Spritzer I sprayed water onto the panel of Fluid 100 card, this will allow the ink to move around on the card.

I inked up the ‘sea’ stamp from the Oceanfront stamp set with Bermuda Bay at the top and Coastal Cabana ink at the bottom of the stamp. I stamped down onto the wet Fluid 100 card.

The ‘sky’ image from the same stamp set was inked up with Tahitian Tide ink and stamped down as above. I didn’t mind if there was a little mixing of the inks.

I left the panel to dry a little before stamping the ‘sand’ image, again from the Oceanfront stamp set in Crumb Cake ink. I used a Heat Tool to completely dry the stamped background before moving onto the next step.

Using the Stamparatus I stamped the tree trunks from the Paradise Palms stamp set in Crumb Cake ink. I like to use the Stamparatus with Watercolor card as I can stamp multiple times to get the depth of colour and definition I want. The palm tree tops were added with Old Olive ink using the Stamparatus. The whole panel was then glued to the Crumb Cake layer and then added to the Tahitian Tide card base on Dimensionals.

The sentiment was stamped on Very Vanilla card and die cut using the Stylish Shapes Dies and added to the card front to complete the card.

Waterfront

Posted on June 19, 2020June 5, 2020 by Mo Rootes

Today I am using the Waterfront stamp set to make a beach hut themed card. I have had this stamp set in my stash for a long time and haven’t used it very much as I was a bit scared of it………….. I know, crazy. I finally realised that you just have to go for it.

To recreate the Waterfront card you will need:

Sahara Sand card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛” – rounded upper right corner
Pool Party 3⅞” by 3¼” – rounded upper right corner
Whisper White – 3¾” by 3⅛” – rounded upper right corner
Daffodil Delight – ½” strip
Whisper White – 5⅜” by 3⅝” – rounded upper right corner
Scrap Whisper White

Using Sahara Sand ink I stamped the trees and palm leaves in along the bottom of the Sahara Sand card base. The daffodil delight strip was added to the card front with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive.

I stamped the ‘beach’ in Sahara Sand 2^nd generation ink onto the centre of the small Whisper White panel. I stamped the ‘sea’ in full strength Pool Part ink I then stamped off onto scrap paper and stamped the sky in the 3^rd generation ink above the beach.

The huts were stamped in Pacific Point ink and Poppy Parade ink. The tree trunks were stamped in full strength Sahara Sand ink and the leaves added in Granny Apple Green ink.

The sun was added with a sponge dauber and Daffodil Delight ink. I stamped multiple times around the image to soften the look. The stamped layer was then adhered to the Pool Party layer with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive.

A lovely sunny card made using the Beach Happy stamp set for the Freshly Made Sketches #373 challenge

Beach Happy for the Freshly Made Sketches #373 challenge

Posted on February 2, 2019February 1, 2019 by Mo Rootes

When the weather is so cold and snowy I really, really crave some sunny beachy weather, so today I made a card for the Freshly Made Sketches using the new Beach Happy stamp set.

Making the card

www.crafty-rootes.com – Beach Happy stamp set used for the Freshly Made Sketches #373 Challenge

I started with a panel of Watercolor Paper 3½” by 2⅜”. I placed the watercolor paper in the Stamparatus; I find I often have to re-stamp the image on Watecolor Paper to get a crisp image. After a bit of trial and error I found it easier to stamp the striped cloth of the deckchair first in Blueberry Bushel ink. I then stamped the frame of the deckchair and the parasol with Memento Tuxedo Black ink.

www.crafty-rootes.com – Beach Happy stamp set used for the Freshly Made Sketches #373 Challenge

I stamped the infill of the parasol with So Saffron ink and added the leaves in 1^st and 2^nd generation Mossy Meadow ink. I added the ‘ground’ in Crumb Cake and So Saffron ink with my Aquapainter. I added the stamped layer to a panel of So Saffron 3⅝” by 2½” with liquid adhesive.

www.crafty-rootes.com – Beach Happy stamp set used for the Freshly Made Sketches #373 Challenge

I took a Blueberry Bushel card base and added a strip of Mossy Meadow and a strip of So Saffron, both ⅜” wide, at an angle across the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive. I added a ¼” strip of Whisper White below the other two strips and added the stamped piece over the top on Stampin’ Dimensionals.

www.crafty-rootes.com – Beach Happy stamp set used for the Freshly Made Sketches #373 Challenge

I stamped the sentiment from the By The Bay stamp set in Mossy Meadow ink to complete the card. I added the palm tree to a layer of Whisper White cardstock 5⅜” by 3⅝” and added it to the inside of the card and the same image on the Whisper White envelope.

I hope this card brought you a little touch of sunshine on this cold day.
