Using a Dauber I inked around the edges with Night of Navy ink and deepened the top corners using the same ink. The grasses were stamped in Mossy Meadow ink.

Masculine Birthday card using the Waterfront stamp set by Stampin' Up!

Waterfront Birthday card

Today I am sharing the birthday card I made for my lovely husband using the Waterfront stamp set. I absolutely love this stamp set but I have to admit when I first opened it I found it quite intimidating…………and then I started to see the most amazing projects made using it. So I took it out and started to play.

Making the Waterfront card

I started with a panel of Whisper White cardstock 5⅜” by 3⅝” and using the ‘mountain ‘image I stamped it multiple times in 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th generation Smoky Slate ink on the left hand side of the cardstock. Stamping the image multiple times in many directions and in many generations of ink has created a cliff effect with texture and shading. I used an Aqua Painter to soften and blend the stamping.

I added the ‘trees’ at the base of the cliff in multi generation Smoky Slate ink. Right at the bottom of the panel I stamped just the tops of the trees in Smoky Slate ink to give the appearance of shrubby bushes. I then added some trees in Momento Tuxedo Black ink. I added some Whisper White ink to the left side of some of the trees to give the effect of snow.

I punched a circle from a Post It Note using a 1” Circle Punch making sure to catch the sticky part and added it to the scene just above the tree line. Taking a wedge of Stampin’ Sponge I inked it up in Pacific Point ink and blended it over the top of the panel to add depth to the sky. I stamped the ‘tiny stars’ randomly across the sky in Whisper White ink, it is really subtle but gives of a snowy sky. I peeled away the mask and used a Sponge Dauber to colour the sun, or possibly moon……..I can’t decide if it is a day or night picture.

I mounted the stamped panel onto a layer of Basic Black cardstock 5½” by 3¾” using Tombow Liquid Adhesive. I added it to a Thick Whisper White card base on Stampin Dimensionals and stamped the sentiment from the Party Pandas stamp set in Momento Tuxedo Black ink.
