I needed a super quick birthday card the other day and decided to try some acrylic block stamping. The sandpiper image from the Wetlands stamp set is the perfect image for a beach scene.
Creative Tips –
- I used my Stampin’ Write markers to create my own scene on one of my larger acrylic blocks.
- For my sand, I used Crumb Cake, and then created my water with Bermuda Bay. Next I drew a sun in Crushed Curry and colored my sky in Island Indigo around it.
- I spritzed my block with a light mist of water and stamped onto a folded piece of card stock.
- My sandpiper birds were then stamped in Early Espresso as was my greeting from Four You.
- Here is a similar card done and matted onto Bermuda Bay for a contrasting look, which do you like better – one layer or matted? Let me know if the comment section.
This card literally takes minutes and is a cute simple watercolor of a fun beach scene. It’s yet again just one more reason you want to have the Wetlands stamp set in your arsenal – it’s versatile, and easy to use!
