Hello crafty friends, Marine here, I'm so happy to be back on the blog to give you an early taste of summer with this lovely scene showcasing multiple items (listed down below), including the wooden flooring from Sprawling Surfaces that I used as a deck to ground my little scene.
I started off by stamping all my images on 80lb Neenah solar white cardstock using an alcohol marker friendly black ink, as always I used the coordinating dies to cut them all, and colored everything using my Spectrum Noir Illustrator markers and my Graph'it brush markers. I had so much fun going through my Sunny Studio collection to pick my stamps.
Here is a
detailed list of what I used:
• Sprawling
Surfaces: wooden floor
• Panda Party: pandas
• Seasonal
Trees: large palm tree, coconuts
• Bunnyville: grass
• Fabulous
Flamingos: tropical leaves
• Tiki
Time: bar, toucans, torches,
cocktails, greeting
• Sending
Sunshine: small palm tree
When the coloring was done, I cut a 4,5 x 4,5 inches Strathmore bristol smooth panel, and did a sunset scenery using stencils and oxide inks. On the bottom half of the panel, I created a sand border using a hillside stencil along with antique linen and vintage photo oxide inks. And on the upper part, I created a sunset sky. I first blended, from the top to the bottom, kitsch flamingo + dried marigold + squeezed lemonade oxide inks, and to make this part of the panel more interesting, I stenciled a tropical pattern on top using, from the top to the bottom, picked raspberry + carved pumpkin + mustard seed oxide inks.
As always, I added texture to my background. I started off by mixing some vintage photo oxide with water and used a small brush to make splatters on the sand border. Next I mixed some black soot oxide ink with water and added splatters on the tropical sky. And then I did the same with copic opaque white ink that I splattered all over the panel.
I set my panel aside for a few minutes, and once it was totally dry, I white heat embossed my "Aloha" greeting from Tiki Time at the very top of the panel, and then I attached all my images using a combination of 1mm + 2mm foam squares, liquid glue and 3mm glue dots. I finished my card by adding highlights and details to the images using a white gel pen. And that's it!
This little scene was so much fun to make, I love it, and I hope you do too! Now, who wants a cocktail? Thanks for stopping by, and see you next week!
