Well, time already for the mid-month DT post for Bizzy Bec's, quite scary how quickly this comes around!
To the method ... step by step of course :D
 |
| Stamp the lovely stamp in black Versafine ink and emboss with clear EP |
 |
| I had bought some lovely cheesecloth from Bec and wanted to use it with this, so sprayed the Dylusions teal spray + also perfect pearls spray. Has lovely sheen on this, just cant see it. |
 |
| Here is the dyed cheesecloth (also used it as a stamp while it wet and juicy on some other card to right). It was too dark when done so I wrapped it up like a sausage and put a Rubber band down length of it, like we did for tie dyeing in the '70's. Then wet it all over again with water and took some of the colour out randomly with kitchen paper to get the mixed colour. Let it dry naturally. |
 |
| Added some real sand from our beach, with some texture paste and masking tape. |
 |
| Assembled card - coloured the sky with DI ink and hand made cloud masks. Added the colour to sea with Versamark and Perfect Pearls, and also the surfboards. Turquoise card on left was coloured from cheesecloth stamps above and added some more colour after embossing piece, I added some more inks to highlight. Only needed a third of cheesecloth which i dyed as it was folded over three times. Happy Birthday (LOTV) stamp was stamped in Versafine on cork and clear embossed. Background paper is some old stash of hand made paper from 1990's, shells and starfish also from stash. |

Products used:

*Ranger Perfect Pearls PPP21803 Aged Patina
(available for order, as are Ranger products - see Bec.)

I don't know from when I can begin.... this card is so creative!!!
ReplyDeleteLove the cheesecloth that you have coloured, such fab blue shades! And the touch of real sand is just fabulous and give a lot of interest to the scene! The stamp with the surfboards and the sea is stunning, and you gave them a wonderful 3D look!
Love sooo much your own recycled paper, the starfish and the shells!! Great design and textures!
REAL sand on your card? That's too cool. I really like that cheesecloth background. Very fun.
ReplyDeleteBrilliant card, Shaz. Love the design - very creative. xx

Wow Sharon! This card is amazing!!! I love the cheesecloth, and I love that you used it while wet to make impressions on other paper. It just gives such a cool effect on the card. And as if I wasn't impressed enough with the cheesecloth, you add real sand! That just blew me away and it looks so cool! I love your coloring on the water and the boards. This is one amazing card my friend! Hugs, Brenda

ReplyDeleteQuite a beautiful work of art, Shaz. Either my eyes are playing tricks or the date on this is incorrect by a month. It says July, not June. How did that happen since we don't control that part of the post? Thanks for your comments on the bear sighting in my neighborhood.
ReplyDeleteFabulous card Shaz. Perfect for a male birthday.
ReplyDeleteJust fabulous...what an incredible talent you have!
ReplyDeleteGreat guy's card Shaz. I have a son and his son that surf, would be a good card for them. Appreciate all the work you put in with your descriptions and photos as you create your card.
