High Tide

Here’s my third card using the set High Tide (143006, $26) which I’ll be demonstrating later on my Facebook Live at 11am.

To make the background I pressed an E block into the mango melody ink pad and then used the take your pick tool to add little swirls of melon mambo ink. Next I spritzed the block with water and then pressed it onto a piece of watercolor paper and left it to dry.

I’ve made this background before using the exact same colours – I think it makes a fabulous night sky at sunset. Last time I left some of the white edges showing (check out the Ridiculously Awesome post a few weeks ago) but this time I trimmed it down and added a basic black mat. Next I stamped the sentiment and the image in memento tuxedo black. To complete the card I mounted it on a thick whisper white card base and added a bow made with the black glittered organdy ribbon.

I’ll be demonstrating this week’s 3 cards using the High Tide set on my facebook live on Sunday at 11am.

So continuing my focus on the images in the set High Tide (143006, $26), I’ve used the stamp set more traditionally.

I started with the sand, stamped appropriately in Sahara Sand and two step stamped the lighthouse in the same color plus real red. The sentiment is also from High Tide and stamped in real red. This whisper white layer was matted I some real red and then adhered to a thick whisper white card base.

This week I’m focusing on the images in the set High Tide (143006, $26). It’s a photopolymer 16 stamp set with images and sentiments. I’ve used some of the sentiments, but not the images.  So here goes!

Liz Bailey Stampin' Up! Demonstrator - High Tide - In the Pines - Stitched Rectangle Dies

The images were stamped in pool party and early espresso with the birds getting a coating of clear wink of Stella so that they look almost wet. Rectangle Stitched Dies were used to cut out the image and then a pool party mat was added. The sentiment, which comes from In The Pines was stamped on a thick whisper white card base in pool party.

I’ll be making another couple of cards using the High Tide set this week, which I’ll make in my facebook live on Sunday at 11am.

I’ve had the High Tide set for a while now and it just hasn’t made it to the top of the stack. I can’t explain that – it’s a great set and has some awesome sayings. I decided to use the same layout again and this saying was just the right shape for the card! Do you do that? Sometimes select a sentiment because it fits in the space correctly? It always makes me laugh when I do that.

Liz Bailey Stampin' Up! Demonstrator - High Tide - Delightful Daisy DSP

This uses a large piece of paper from the Delightful Daisy DSP – 5 /14 by 4 inches on a night of navy base. I then made the top pieces – a piece of whisper white which “looked right” – 1 3/4 inches to be precise and stamped the awesome sentiment in more night of navy on one side so that the beautiful crushed curry mini chevron ribbon bow would fit. I also used crushed curry as the matting for the piece of whisper white; despite the yellow in the DSP actually being daffodil delight, it’s been watered down to get the watercolor effect and the actual card stock is just a touch too much in my opinion. Crushed curry works nicely – and of course goes well with the lovely ribbon.
