Hello! Suns out, fins up! Today I am sharing two summer-themed cards created with the Shark Attack stamp set. I thought these would be fun for the 31st edition Shark Week, which kicks off July 28. I previously shared a card using this stamp set in this post.
On my first card, I stamped the shark image on an ink-blended background.
- I blended Tumbled Glass, Salty Ocean, and Blueprint Sketch Distress Oxide inks on white cardstock.
- I stamped the shark image on to the panel with Archival ink.
- I heat-embossed the sentiment on to black cardstock, which I cut with a circle die.
- I popped the sentiment on to the center of the card base with foam adhesive.
For the second card, I stamped the shark image on to a white card base with shades of blue ink.
- I started at the top of the panel stamping with Tumbled Glass Distress ink. Without moving the stamp, I overstamped the image with Tumbled Glass Distress Oxide ink. (Prior to stamping the background, I ran a test. I stamped the image with dye ink, dye ink and then oxide, oxide only, and oxide with dye ink over. Of those four, I like the combination of first stamping with the dye ink and then stamping with the oxide image the best.)
- I continued down the panel using the same system with Broken China, Salty Ocean, and Blueprint Sketch.
- I heat-embossed the sentiment on to black cardstock, which I cut with a circle die. The circle is slightly smaller than the circle on the first card.
- I popped the sentiment on to the center of the card base with foam adhesive.
