Hello! The other day I got out my Catch A Wave background stamp from PinkByDesign and got a little swept away. ;) I stamped it 3 times and heat embossed with white embossing powder. For the first 2 cards I layered on ink from light to dark using distress inks in Tumbled Glass, Broken China, Faded Jeans, and Chipped Sapphire.
The sentiment is from the Summer Vacation set from PinkByDesign.
For this card I heat embossed the whale from the Ocean Fun set from MarketStreetStamps.com. I colored him super quickly by using the same ink colors as the waves and my ink blending tool.
The sentiment is from the Crikey set from PinkByDesign. Side note...I just said "crikey" with an awesome fake Australian accent. ;)
Ok ok, I know what you're thinking...rainbow waves??? I wanted to use this "you color my world" sentiment from the Simply Everything set so...I made rainbow waves! ;)
I used distress inks in Barn Door, Dried Marigold, Mustard Seed, Shabby Shutters, Broken China, and Milled Lavender. I hope you likey my wavey cards! ;)
