Welcome Stampers! It is the middle of July, and for us in the northern hemisphere, it is the middle of the summer. That means lots of beach time for us! Those in the southern hemisphere may have to settle for dreaming of beach time. And what better way then to stamp some ocean themed projects?! We are featuring Seaside Shore this time. For those who are new to the Stamp Review Crew, here is a little background. We are an international group of Stampin' Up! demonstrators that gets together on the first and third Mondays of every month to do a blog hop. Each hop features a single stamp set to give you loads of inspiration for that set! The hops are archived at the Stamp Review Crew blog, and you will be able to click through each hop at any time, going directly to the posts for that hop whenever you want! And you can click on the banner of this post to go to the master blog roll for this hop also. If you are hopping along in order, I am the first stop on the hop! If you started somewhere in the middle, then you just arrived from Adriana Benitez's blog. Welcome back Adriana! We are excited to see you hopping with us again :) Pool Party Pumpkin Pie Emerald Envy Berry Burst Dapper Denim Now this is a very colorful card! I was playing with this idea to create all sorts of colorful fish without having to carefully color all of them. I decided to take some watercolor paper and lay down a wash of Pool Party and dry it. Then add splotched of roughly fish sized and shaped color with an Aqua-painter. Dried that with the heat tool too. Then stamped with Marbled background stamp with Pool Party ink. And finally, stamped the fish in Archival Black. I have also discovered that the Fine-Tip Glue Pen does a mighty fine job of attaching vellum to cardstock. 😁 I added some colorful fish to the inside also. Whisper White Sahara Sand Crumb Cake Silver Foil Next I wanted to use the anchor stamp with the Cable Knit embossing folder and Wood Textures DSP. I think they make a lovely masculine card! Bermuda Bay Pool Party Soft Sky Since I have been thoroughly enjoying the ghosting technique, I gave it a go here with a similar layout to the first card. The sentiment is from Just Add Text. I threw in some bubbles on the inside of this one! OK, that's it for me! It is time to go check out what Juana Ambida has created! I am humbled by her talent every single time!
