Hello Quick Quotes fans, Neva here today to share a card
featuring Powder Puff Chalking Inks.
Sometimes you need a “just because” card, and this card is just one of those!
I really liked the saying from the Navigator Quotes and
Phrases 500, Every Seashell Has a Story
and thought it deserved to be the sentiment for my card. I continued to build my theme from there.
To create an underwater feel, I used several of the 2018
Powder Puff Chalking Inks. Starting with
the lighter colors and working to the darker colors I inked up an acrylic
block. Purple Rain, Key Largo, Bermuda,
Capri Blue, and a very small amount of Deep Sea create to look. Water color paper trimmed to 5 ¼ x 3 ¾ is
spritzed with a small amount of water and then pressed into the ink on the
block. After the paper dried the edges
are inked with Deep Sea.
Next I die cut the three seashells and the coordinating
overlays from watercolor paper. The
overlays are inked using ink daubers in the darker colors Deep Sea, Kokomo, and
Capri Blue. The seashells are shaded with using ink daubers in the lighter colors Bermuda, Tropical Punch, and Key Largo. To complete the scene, I tore the edge
of another piece of watercolor paper and inked it with Vanilla Cream, Sandy Shore,
and the edges with Kokomo. A slight mist
of water directly on the paper is another method to blend the inks.
A section of Navigator 103 is trimmed to 6 ¼ x 4 ¾ and inked
with Key Largo. The sentiment is also
inked with Key Largo. The scene is
adhered together with the sentiment lifted with dimensional foam adhesive as is
the center shell. The card seemed to be
missing that extra little bit, so Bakers Twine is wrapped around the top
section with a triple lopped bow to top it off.
The whole card is put together on a 6 Bar Kraft card base.
