Here is a look at this week’s challenge layout. You don’t have to follow the sketch exactly but can flip/rotate the shapes or replace them with images.

For my take on the sketch, I created an ocean-themed one-layered card using images from the BB Gill Friends Stamp Set. I flipped part of the sketch layout and aligned my fish according to the reversed pattern. I used my MISTI to stamp my fish onto a piece of Neenah Solar White 110lb card stock that I had trimmed slightly larger than 4.25″ x 5.5″.

Next, I stamped my images again onto a sheet of Gina K Designs Masking Magic Sheets and fussy cut each one to mask each image. Once each image was masked, I then used a piece of low tack masking tape to mask off the right side of my card so that I could ink blend the left side. I then blended the area over the fish with Tumbled Glass, Cracked Pistachio, Peacock Feathers, and Black Soot Distress Inks to create some “water”.

Once I finished blending, I splattered the area with some water using a sized 4 round paint brush. Next, I blotted dry the area with a clean paper towel and then stamped my sentiment onto the lower right corner with black ink. Lastly, I colored my images with Copic markers and trimmed my card down to 4.25″ x 5.5″ to get rid of any harsh ink stains on the edges of my card.
