Color Layering Beach Card

 I decided to go very simple today with these two cards.  These are basicly a one layer card with just stamping and embossing.

Hero Arts color layering stamp sets CM317 and CM316

Using my Hampton Art stamp positioner to determine the placement of the water and sentiment.

Decided to go with Oxide inks because they give a very smooth and full look.
tumbled glass is the first layer

peacock feathers for the second layer

final layer is mermaid lagoon

some shimmer watercolor from my stash for the sand
this pallet was very inexpensive and an off brand

Vintage Photo paint for some sand specks
do not forget to cover your top half so the rest of the project will not have sand specks

Speckled Egg painted with some water for the sky

heat dry on low before stamping
this is a 5$ board from Target $1 Spot

Hero Arts White embossing powder for the clouds
paired with white pigment ink

Waffle Flower A2 layering dies

small blending brush from Taylored Expressions
Mermaid Lagoon ink just around the edge

Stampin Up dimensionals to pop up the main panel

Mini Slim Line Die Cut Rainbow Card

 I decided to bus out my Mini Slim Line card dies and create, I also used some Rainbow, Sun, and Cloud Dies as well.  All the dies are from Stamps of Life including the white (Powder Sugar) and black (Licorice) card stock.

The colored card stock is from Stampin Up in Real Red, Tangelo Twist, Daffodil Delight, Crushed Curry, Gumball Green, Soft Sky, and Elegant Eggplant.

My neutral under the Rainbow and word dies is Fig card stock from Bazzill Paper Basics.


art glitter glue has been a go to for me, purchased from Amazon.

I layered the nested dies in the rainbow and cut out a square of each card stock, 
this way I could get four cards.

Cutting the clouds in half got me more use from them.
Washi Tape on the back and some Dimensional adhesive.

Same with the cloud and sun.

I decided to go with the Fig card stock as well instead of Vellum.

I used some stamps from MFT and Stamps of Life.
I choose some water brush markers from my stash.

Versa Fine Black Onyx ink for my sentiment stamping.
