Today is day two of the TSG Blog Hop Challenges where you have a chance to win the stamp set being previewed today by the Trendsetters! All you have to do is go to each of the participating Trendsetters blogs and comment on their By The Sea sneak peek post. After you have commented on everyone's blog, hop back over to the TSG Blog where you can enter your name into the Mister Linky located at the bottom of the post.
Today the Trendsetters are giving you a sneak peek of the new stamp set designed by the lovely Chris Dark! I absolutely love this stamp set and have been having so much fun playing with it! It is perfect for watercoloring which is my favorite coloring method (this week lol!).
By The Sea is a 6x8 stamp set that includes a total of 37 stamps and will sell for $24.
This first card was made by stamping the background images and watercoloring. Then I stamped the background again on an oval Nestability layer and also watercolored. The palm tree and boat were stamped on a separate piece of paper, watercolored and adhered to the nestie panel with dimensionals. Very fun and easy card to make that looks gorgeous!
The second card was made using the stair step fold and is a little more detailed. I created my card base then measured watercolor paper to fit each of the front facing panels. Before adhering those to the base, I stamped and watercolored them. I then stamped the accessory images onto a separate piece of paper, watercolored, cut out and added to the different base panels with dimensionals.
Allthough this card was a little more time consuming (mostly because of the cutting!) it was still very easy to put together :)
