Sea of Textures 2

Yep, you guessed it, this set is also on the retiring list. I am trying to play with a few sets that are on the retiring list that I haven't used yet! I did use this one before the list was announced but didn't get the blog posts written. You would think that since I'm not working during the COVID-19 crisis I would be able to keep up on my blog! The problem is that I am not on a schedule. I had everything figured out with my busy lifestyle and now I have to adjust again. I haven't found a system that is working for me yet. 

Sea of Texture has coordinating dies called Under the Sea. Part of these dies is the sand dollar. I cut them and then raised the star in the center with dimensionals. I love the added texture this creates. To create the background of the sand dollars, I water colored Pacific Point ink on the Balmy Blue paper. After that dried, I took my Wink of Stella and added the glitter and glitz!


How about the texture on this card?!? I used the texture stamp in this set and stamped it multiple times in each of the three colors. I started with Balmy Blue, then added the Pacific Point and finally the Highland Heather.


I die cut the larger sand dollar, seaweed and coral to make this card. The sand dollar has Wink of Stella on the star in the center. 


Do you have some sets sitting around that haven't seen ink yet? What are you waiting for!? Get them out and see what you can create! It's fun to play!

Happy Stampin'!

Sea of Texture 1

Sea of Textures was a new set to the 2018-2019 catalog that I had to have. I purchased the bundle of stamps and dies and then added the designer series papers. When it got here I put it on the shelf and forgot about it. Yep, it has sat on my shelf for over a year and a half before I finally took it off and stamped with it! Do you have sets that you have done that to? I have to admit that I have a few from the current catalog that I bought last summer that hasn't seen ink yet. I'm working on it but...HOW SAD!

Anyway, this set got inked! I stamped the seaweed in Soft Sea Foam and it's really hard to see in this picture. The net was stamped twice as well as the coral. The octopus was stamped and then die cut and adhered with dimensionals. A few rhinestones and called this one a success!


I did a little more detail on this card. The sand dollars were die cut. The star in the middle is a separate piece that I put back into the sand dollar and then added Wink of Stella to just the star. The bottom portion of this card I created by stamping the sandy looking stamp with Balmy Blue, Pacific Point and Highland Heather. I love the look of texture with this!


I used the Birch background stamp on this card. I think it looks like waves, at least a little bit. The fish cut from the circle are part of the die set. I really wanted to use this cut out as a stencil and then forgot all about doing that while the stamps were on my table. Guess they will have to come out again soon! I added just a touch of Highland Heather with my aqua painter to the birch background. It was meant to be subtle but you can't even see it on the picture.


Hopefully you are stamping and using your goodies better than I am. Shhh...just don't tell my husband that I have stamps that are uninked! I don't think he'll like that too much.

Happy Stampin'!
