Miss Mad Stamper: Seas the Day

Seas the Day retired yesterday but I still love this set! I couldn't put it away yet. I started with Pool Party for the card base. I masked the strip in the middle of the Basic White piece with post it notes and then stamped the seaweed with Bermuda Bay. I stamped the seaweed more than once before re-inking. I then used a blending brush with Pool Party.

To create the faux water look on this card, I embossed a piece of window sheet with the Bark embossing folder (also retired now) and added it behind the top layer that has been die cut. There is a layer behind that has blended colors and the jellyfish on it. You could use the Cascading Ribbons, Painted Texture, Stripes & Splatters, or Timeworn embossing folders for the water look. HERE is the Facebook Live video that I made creating this card.

HERE is another Facebook Live video for this next card too. This one used the masking technique. What I did was stamp the octopus on copy paper and then fussy cut it. You could use the dies but they don't get as close. I cut right on the stamped edge. I stamped the octopus on the cardstock and then laid the copy paper octopus on top of it. I then stamped the seaweed around it and removed the copy paper octopus to reveal octopus in the front of the seaweed.
