Beach Day Birthday Wishes

It's a beach-day-kind-of-day over at Hand Stamped Sentiments!  This Inspiration Challenge has me wishing I was at the beach instead of being stuck at work!

I pulled in the pinks, with a touch of green and gray from the photo, along with the beach theme.  I used the Seaside Wishes bundle with a little added coral from the Beauty of the Deep dies to create a dream beach scene.

The Petal Pink woodgrain pattern from the Country Woods DSP and the Seaside Wishes hybrid embossing folder gave the card just the right amount of texture.  I love the rock cluster image along the bottom...it reminds me of some of the beaches in Mexico!

What will you be inspired to create for this challenge?  We can't wait to see!

Happy Stamping!

Under the Sea

Welcome to the latest Hand Stamped Sentiments Inspiration Challenge!  This challenge is full of beautiful sand and sea inspiration for all of you to play along with!

I pulled out every sand and sea stamp set I own for this card! Seaside Wishes, Beauty of the Deep and Sea Turtle all came together for a fun under-the-sea creation. 

I created a watercolor ocean background using Balmy Blue and Blueberry Bushel with a few Pretty Peacock splatters.  I stamped the sea pebbles in Pebbled Path Along the bottom of the ocean floor.

A Sea Turtle was stamped in Lemon Lime Twist and Pretty Peacock.  Some Beauty of the Deep coral was die-cut in Pretty Peacock with some Lemon Lime Twist Seaside Wishes Hybrid seaweed woven through.  Basic Beige is my favorite sand dollar color, especially with a Peach Pie and Moody Mauve starfish!

Happy Stamping!

Welcome to an all new Hand Stamped Sentiments Sketch Challenge!

This sketch gave me the perfect opportunity to ink up the gorgeous Seaside Wishes stamp set AND play with the Seaside Wishes Hybrid Embossing Folder.

I stamped the large sand dollar on Basic White in Basic Beige, along with a few Calypso Coral starfish and some Crumb Cake splatters.

A Basic Beige sand dollar was cut using the hybrid embossing folder...the texture is amazing!  Wanting to bring in some more color, I cut some of the other sea life in Calypso Coral and Coastal Cabana.

The So Swirly embossing folder added an ocean-like texture....my favorite place to be!

Happy Stamping!
