Innovative Stamp Creations November Release!!

***If you are here for Kitchen Sink Monday...Please see the post below this one. Thanks!!***

Yep, today is the day! Innovative Stamp Creations is releasing three new images today along with a coordinating background image!! If you like ocean scenes, you are gonna LOVE these images!! Take a look!!

On the Shore

By the Bay
Rocks on the Bay

Background Series: Netting

For my first card today, I have used the On the Shore sheet. I am on a sepia technique kick!! I thought this technique I did last week would be perfect for this image too!! I stamped the image twice to create a panoramic card in walnut stain distress ink. I then highlighted the image a bit with white ink, chalked the image lightly, and then sponged the edges.

I stamped the Netting background lightly in craft white in the background, and added a bit of some old make DP from Karen Foster. To finish off the card, I added some large brads, and a spiral clip with some ribbon to hold the sentiment. Both the DP and the sticker sentiment are part of ISC November Travel & Escape Kit! This kit is full of some fun embellishments and DP...you will want to check it out for sure!!

For my second card, I water colored the By the Bay image with re-inkers. Here again, I used some more Karen Foster DP, and another sticker for the sentiment, which is available in the Travel and Escape Kit. I then finished the card off with a bit of caramel ribbon, and ! clipped the sentiment on with a tiny library clip.

Thanks so much for visiting today! Be sure to come back all week, I will be sharing more cards from this release!! Also be sure to visit the other Creative Architechs to see what they have in store for you!!

This card is for three different challenges!! This week's FTTC40 to use a image that is colored, and then mat with all neutral colors and to add some texture! OCCC - to create a vintage card, and MMSC26 for the wonderful sketch!!

I just LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this vintage Santa image from Flourishes called Santa, I Believe! I decided to try the sepia technique that I saw in the latest Technique Junkies news letter. This is such a fun and easy technique and just perfect for that vintage touch! I lightly colored my image with some chalks, and highlighted his hair by watercoloring with some craft white inks.

Thanks so much for visiting today!! Hope you have a wonderful day!
