We stamped the ‘sky’ in 2^nd generation Balmy Blue ink onto the 5” by 3¼” panel of Basic White card. The ‘sea image’ was stamped twice using Pool Party ink.

The ship from the On the Ocean stamp set was stamped in Starry Sky ink in the lower left corner, about ½” up from the bottom.

The diorama panels were glued together with liquid adhesive and then mounted onto the stamped panel on Dimensionals. The whole piece was then glued to the Pool Party card front. We tucked pieces of the spiky foliage, die cut from scarp Garden Green card using the On the Ocean Dies, between the layers of the diorama panels..

The sentiment was stamped in Night of Navy ink onto the strip of Basic White card, trimmed down and added to the card front.

We stamped the ‘sky’ in 2^nd generation Balmy Blue ink onto the 5” by 3¼” panel of Basic White card. The ‘sea image’ was stamped using Pool Party ink. The ‘sand’ was added in Crumb Cake ink, stamping three times to build up the layers.

We added grasses in Garden Green ink.

The large bird from the Seaside Bay stamp set, was stamped in Memento Tuxedo Black ink onto the 5½” by 3¾” piece if Basic White card. We added the trio of chicks to the panel of card using the same ink and die cut them using the Seaside Bay Dies.

The stamped panel was the glued to the Crumb Cake panel and then to the Petal Pink card front.

We used the darker brown tones from the Naturals Collection of Blends and Smoky Slate Blends to add texture to the head and wings of the large bird. Pool Party for the eye and Petal Pink for the shading on the belly/chest of the large bird and the chicks.

The large bird and one of the smaller birds were added to the stamped panel using Dimensionals.
