Paper Wings Productions: blog hop!

I'm super excited to be joining the Paper Wings Productions design team! Thanks for joining us on our blog hop today! If you arrived from Pam's blog, you're in the right spot! If not you may want to start back at Steph's blog.

One of the stamp sets I shared in my video is featured in this layout I'm sharing today. This is the Sea stamp set and I really like the sentiment in this set.

The first thing I did was color the ship stamp with Faber Castell Big Brush Pens. I used Sky Blue, Cobalt Blue, and Cobalt Green. I color directly onto the stamp and then I spritz the stamp with water.

You'll want to practice a couple of times before you stamp the image you plan to use. It takes some practice to get the right amount of water. Too much water and you just get a blob of ink (see below).

I knew I wanted to use the little starfish stamps but I was afraid they would get lost on the page since they're so tiny so I had an idea to use them with my Fuse tool. I stamped the starfish and heat embossed them before I fussy cut them. Then I mixed the starfish, wood veneer and sequins into a little 2x2 pouch and sealed it with my We R Memory Keepers Fuse tool .

Next I added my sentiment. I stamped my sentiment with Versafine ink because it always give me such a crisp image. Love that.
