Retirement Wishes

I like to pair the Oceanfront and Paradise Palms stamp sets to create a beach scene complete with palm trees.  It is easy to add layers and texture with die cuts and embellishments as well, although for this card I did not add either of those.

For the ocean, I used Pool Party ink and stamped the images from the Oceanfront set several times and in some places, I stamped more than one time in each spot. I did the same for the beach using Crumb Cake ink.

Supplies:

Oceanfront, Paradise Palms

Pool Party, Daffodil Delight, Mango Medley, Old Olive, 

Soft Suede ink

Basic White, Cinnamon Cider, Pool Party card stock

Here for You

I love using the Oceanfront stamps for backgrounds and have done so on this card pairing that stamp set with the Flowering Rain Boots bundle. I used Pool Party and Crumb Cake ink for the Oceanfront images, stamping the image in Pool Party ink several times.

The sentiment layer was die cut using the Ornate Frames dies and the watering can, and flowers were die cut with the Rain Boots dies. I added some Pebbles enamel shapes to add some texture.

Supplies:

Flowering Rain Boots, Oceanfront

Smoky Slate, Pool Party, Crumb Cake, Polished Pink ink

Soft Succulent, Very Vanilla card stock

Rain Boots dies

Ornate Frames dies

Pebbles enamel shapes
