Coral Garden

The Waves of Happiness Release Mini Collection from Catherine Pooler Designs is here, and there are so many options to create with this release, especially the beautiful new ink colors of Bay Breeze, Sea Glass, Tranquil and Cove Blue. The release will be available tomorrow, Wednesday, May 12th for general release and today for Stamp Nation Members.

I couldn't resist trying out some more of my mixed media supplies with the Deep Sea Bundle. This card started by coloring some Dreamwhip Embossing Paste with Sea Glass. I covered a panel heavily with the colored paste, and then pressed the Coral Garden Background Stamp inked with Bay Breeze right into the paste to create a reversed image full of texture and dimension.

After the panel dried, I trimmed it down and mounted it to an Ultra Smooth White Cardstock card base. I also stamped the base with a sentiment from the the Ocean Chums Stamp Set. Then I stamped and lightly colored the stingray image from the Ocean Chums Stamp Set die cut using the coordinating Ocean Chums Dies onto the card as well.

 I really like how these ocean images can hold their own just stamped in a colored ink. You can dress them up or dress them down and they are just as pretty and whimsical as can be.
