Hi everyone. I have another quick ocean themed card for today. This one features my favorite 3d embossing folder, Waves.

Background:

Ink up the Waves 3D embossing folder with Distress Oxide Blueprint Sketch ink and ink emboss a blue paper from Stormy Blue pad. Trim down to 4" x 5 1/4". Run Distress Oxide Salvage Patina ink on the waves and blend with finger. Add white ink to top of waves with a brayer.

Elements:

Fussy cut an island out of tan card stock. Splatter with Distress ink, Gathered Twigs. Antique Linen, and Walnut Stain. Ink blend with Vintage photo. Fussy cut a surf board from white card stock. Use sandpaper along to smooth the sides down. Trim down a strip of red card stock and adhere in the center and then trim off the ends around the surf board. Die cut the palm trees from Nativity House Frame die set from Kraft Woodgrain Paper, making sure the woodgrain is horizontal. Ink blend with Walnut Stain Distress ink. Die cut the tops of the palm tree out of white card stock and ink blend with Mowed Lawn Distress ink. Adhere the tops of the trees to the trunk.
