Under the Sea Card Making

Hello from design team member, Heidi!

I had a few scraps left from some backgrounds I made previously, and I don’t like to waste these. I found some small fish stamps in my I Brake for Stamps collection to use up every bit of background. Then I just fussy cut them out. I loved the way the first turned out with some interesting texture and markings.

The other background was made a while back with alcohol inks. This is one that I just loved too much to use, which is also a terrible habit! You can see that I am really working on reforming my bad habits!

Here are the stamps I used for this project:

Brayer Background Cards

Hello from designer, Heidi.

I have two cards to share today that both use an easy technique my friend taught me called Bouncing Brayer. All you do is ink up your brayer (I used a kaleidocolor inkpad here, but any dye ink will work fine) and then you bounce in along your glossy cardstock until you like the way it looks.

For backgrounds like this, I often like to stamp simply over top. I chose some great stamps from the I Brake for Stamps line and stamped right over top using Archival ink. I think they both turned out great! I chose to make these both birthday cards as I completely depleted my supply by giving all mine to a local charity.
