Oh my goodness, this card was so much fun to make. I saw these sunsets all over Pinterest using the High Tide stamp set and I knew that I had to make one of these. It looks intimidating but it really isn't.
Tips:
1. I started with Whisper White cardstock — 3 7/8" x 5 1/8"
a. I stamped the light house on a sticky note and cut it out
b. I stamped the light house on the Whisper White cardstock with Memento ink and Cherry Cobbler ink
c. place the sticky note house over the Cherry Cobbler house
d. place a whole sticky note over the bottom portion of the cardstock
e. punch a piece of sticky note with 3/4" Circle Punch — place upper right for the moon
f. use a piece of sponge with So Saffron ink and lightly rub over the top portion of the card
g. do same thing with Crushed Curry ink darkening up a very spots here and there
h. now use Watermelon Wonder ink and very light sponge a few spots (I rubbed off on scratch paper first so it wouldn't get too dark)
h. last sponge Perfect Plum ink around outer edges
i. Remove all sticky notes — don't throw them away yet
j. stamp rocks with Smoky Slate ink
k. stamp rocks again over Smoky Slate with VersaMark ink and heat emboss with Clear Embossing Powder
l. Place full sticky note over the top portion of the card and cover light house too
m. use sponge and Night of Navy to fill in bottom portion for the water
n. sponge Perfect Plum over this
o. use a tissue or paper towel to wipe over the rocks to remove any ink sitting on top
p. use White Craft ink to stamp the waves over the water
q. remove all sticky notes — tear the full sticky note to create little mountains
r. lay this half over water and sky and sponge with Perfect Plum ink right at top of sticky note
s. remove sticky note — viola, you have a mountain range
t. stamp flock of birds and the greeting with Memento
There are a lot of steps but once you get the hang of it, it is so much fun.
I can't wait to make a bunch of these.
