For this card, I inked a stencil with 2 colors of distress ink, sprayed it with water, and flipped it onto a piece of watercolor paper.

I stamped and embossed the sand dollars first, then masked them. After the sky and sand were blended in, I stamped the sand texture, and finally the sentiment.

“You’re awesome” is one of my favorite kid compliments.
One of the offspring used to ask (during high school years), “Did my awesome check arrive?” (ie, payment for being so awesome) I actually made a card with a big check mark – an awesome check – and mailed it, with no return address, from a hotel I where I was visiting a friend. YEP, that awesome check has arrived. 😉
(I searched for a photo of the card – I have not found one)

I was trying to think of a theme for a Father’s Day card for hubby…and my eyes fell on the seagull in the Stay Salty set from Ellen Hutson. Not your typical inspiration, right??
I blended the ink background, and stamped/embossed the clouds and wave crests. Think think….how do I want my seagull to be here? What about a piling, near a dock or jetty? Oohhhhh…I have that sampler pack of wood paper.
I stamped wood grain stamps onto the wood paper – just for more detail, and cut the tops by hand. The linen thread was added as rope.
Doing the happy dance about the finished card!
