Hello Stamping Friends! Today I’ll be sharing with you a new technique you can do with your ink pads.
I loved inked landscapes and seascapes as card backgrounds, so when I saw this Clipper Ship Craft Stamp on the Simply Stamps website, I instantly had a great idea!
I used six colors for this card. If you don’t have the same colors, experiment on some scrap paper until you find a combination you love. I love experimenting with different color combinations to create the sky, water, fields, and sunsets.
Supplies Used for this Card
- 8 ½” x 5 ½” Light Blue Card Stock
- 5 ¼” x 4” Medium Blue Card Stock
- 5” x 3 ¾” White Card Stock
- Clipper Ship Stamp Link: https://www.simplystamps.com/clipper_ship_craft_stamp-details.aspx
- Craft ink – I used 2 shades of yellow, 2 shades of green, and 2 shades of blue.
- Sponge applicators or daubers
- 1 ¼” circle punch
- Scrap card stock
- Scrapbook Adhesive
Instructions
- Punch a circle out of the scrap card stock.
- Use the hole as a stencil to ink the sun in yellow ink.
- Create a sky using blue ink, covering the sun with the punched circle to keep blue ink away from the yellow ink.
- Use a straight edge of card stock to create a line for the horizon. Continue with blue ink down to the horizon.
- Cover the blue in with the scrap paper, so you can ink below the horizon in green.
- This technique is difficult to explain and much easier to understand while watching me do it in the video.
- After finishing the background, stamp the Clipper Ship.
- Fold the light blue card stock in half to create the card base.
- Using scrapbook adhesive, attach the inked and stamped card stock to the medium blue mat. Then attach both to the base.
I hope you have fun experimenting with this great technique. With different colors combinations, you can make so many different sceneries. Visit Masking Technique for Handmade Cards http://www.psiloveyouscrapbooking.com/masking-technique-for-handmade-cards/ for another example using this technique.
Happy Crafting!
