Time for a new release from Simon Says Stamp! Sunny Vibes is now available in the store, and as the name suggests, this release is all about summer.
Today I'm showing off the Small Sand Dollar die which I've paired with some older summer-themed products from Simon.
I started by cutting a few of the Sand Dollars from cream cardstock and then lightly inked the edges with Latte ink.
For my background, I pulled out the Surf and Sand stencil. This is a really fun stencil that has essentially an open top and bottom and then some solid squiggly portions in the middle that have a bit of space between them which create the shoreline.
I used Latte ink for the sand and Morning for the water. I started by inking the bottom of the panel up from the corners to the shoreline. Then I inked the top starting from the shoreline area and fading up.
After the initial inking, I repositioned the stencil, turning it slightly, and inked with both colors in the shoreline area. This was done twice to create a bit more interest and movement to the shoreline area.
The sentiment, from the Beachy Keen set, was stamped with Versa Clair black ink, and the completed panel was adhered to my card base.
Finally, the three Sand Dollar dies were adhered to the card with the middle one popped using foam tape.
Be sure to head over to Simon to check out the full release. I'll see you back here Saturday for a fun blog hop!
