Instructions!
Using a stamping platform and Copic-friendly ink, stamp Grace Darling's Lighthouse onto white cardstock.
Color the scene with Copic markers, trim the image panel, and edge it with Nocturne VersaFine Clair Ink. Heat set and put aside.
Smoosh Blue Lagoon Elements Ink onto a craft mat, mist with water, and dip two pieces of Mixed Media cardstock into the ink. Heat set. Repeat this step with Blue Atoll, Della Blue, Bermuda, Pine Elements Inks until you're happy with both the coverage and ink blending. Heat set. Lightly mist with with water to add more droplets to both and heat set. If you'd like to add more color to certain areas, use a blender or sponge to apply ink directly to that area, mist with water, and heat set.
Flatten both panels as much as possible. I place the panels on the base platform of a die-cut machine, put a piece of thick paper overtop, add both cutting plates, and run it through the machine.
Using a stamping platform and Nocturne VersaFine Clair Ink, stamp Counting Down onto one of the two inked panels. Repeat inking and stamping to attain a crisp dark image. Heat set. Trim the panel, and edge with Nocturne VersaFine Clair Ink.
Trim the other inked panel to 5.75" square. Adhere the Counting Down panel as shown. Adhere the Grace Darling's Lighthouse panel to the card front.
Apply straw colored ink to a strip of white cardstock. Use a piece of steel wool to pounce brown ink to mottle the background. Use the knot die from the Nautical Rope Border Die Set to cut the inked cardstock. Keep the cardstock in the die and sponge or brush Sahara Elements Ink over the die onto the paper to add detail. Repeat the process to create a second border.
Adhere the inked borders to the card front as shown. Use Nocturne VersaFine Clair Ink to edge the panel. Adhere the panel to a black 6" square card.
