AAA Cards Challenge #171 – Along The Edge
Hello there. Welcome back to my blog. We have a new challenge at the AAA Cards Blog, and the theme for challenge #171 is Along The Edge + Optional Twist Beach. For today’s card, I used the Summer Splash Stamp Set by Mama Elephant.
Vicky is our Guest Designer for this challenge, and you can see her stunning card on her blog.
First, I created a mask for the three images that I was planning to use in my card. Next, I stamped the sandcastle on an A2 Neenah Solar white 110lb cardstock using Memento Black Ink. I then masked it and stamped the elephant beside it. After that, I stamped the other elephant and masked it. Then I used Memo tape by Heffy Doodle to mask the top portion of the card panel. Since I wanted to ink the waves with a white pen, I stamped them in Turquoise Crisp Ink. Then I coloured the sea using Turquoise and Starlight Crisp Inks along with my blender brushes. I coloured the sand using Sand Dunes Crisp Ink.
After that, I unmasked the images and used my Copic Markers to colour them. Below are the colours I used:
Elephant 1 (standing) – C3, C2, C1, C0, R20, R00, BG49, BG13, BG23, BG10, R39, R27, R24, R22, R20, N2, 0; Polychromos – 232, 156, 225, 223
Elephant 2 (sitting) – C3, C2, C1, C0, R20, R00, G29, G19, G14, YG13, YG11, Y02, Y08, Y06; Polychromos – 232, 167, 108, 106
Sandcastle – E35, E33, E31, E50; Polychromos – 187
Details on the sand – E33, E31, E50
Then I used my Sakura White Gelly Roll pen to add details to the waves. Lastly, I stamped the sentiment from the Hello & Hugs Stamp Set by Altenew using Obsidian Pigment Ink.
