Hello! Today the Gina K Design Team are having a blog hop featuring projects with a masculine theme. I used the sandpiper from
By The Sea, to make this Father's Day card.
If you came from
Sharon's blog, you're at the right place. If not make sure to head over to
StampTV where you will find a list of all those participating in today's hop, or head on over to
Tina's blog to see what she's sharing with you today!

I stamped the sandpiper with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and colored with Copic markers, starting with E15.
Added E53.
Added E31.
Added N1.
Added some extra shading with E57 and E19.
I used N5 on the legs and beak. After coloring, I heat embossed the bird with clear embossing powder.
Then I sponged Memento Summer Sky.
Sponged Memento Bamboo Leaves.
I added a mask to the top using sticky notes and sponged Memento Danube Blue.
I removed the mask and sponged a little more Danube Blue around the top edge for the sky and then stamped the grass several times, using Bamboo Leaves ink.
I added some shadows and ripples to the water using my C3 Copic marker.
Then added more with C5.
Stamped the sentiment directly on the background using Memento Tuxedo Black ink.
I layered with
Pure Luxury Black Onyx and Kraft card stock, and used a Baby Boy Blue card base.
Thanks for hopping along with us. I hope your day is fantastic!

WOW that is so pretty. Great job coloring.
Awesome card and another great tutorial.
Wow! This is so beautiful. I love the way you used the Copics to color the bird and I even love better the instructions on how to do it too. Doing the sky and water in a scene is sometimes difficult but you make it look so super easy. I hope I can put the technique to use in my scene work too.
Love the card. Thanks for sharing.

I love this image and your card is inspiring me to try out copic markers. Thanks so much for a beautiful idea.
Lovely card and such beautifull colours.
Your card is so pretty! Great tutorial.
Thanks for sharing! :)
You always do a superb job in colouring your images. How kind of you to provide a tutorial. I don't own any copics (due to expense), but appreciate the work you go to in order to allow us to view your beautiful work. This sandpiper card should be framed.
I just LOVE what you have done here. You are just one of VERY favorite blogs to look at. Can you share how you clear embossed the bird! Do you just use versamark over the bird, then clear powder. I would love to try this. Thank you for sharing. :)
This is just so well done! I am never less than amazed when I visit!
Just beautiful and thanks for the tutorial!
This sandpiper is so serene and
done beautifully. I love all of
your tutorials and always look forward to the next one. You are so
creative and a unique artist. Such
an inspiration...thank you

I always am in awe at the way you put your ink pads to use- I don't even *remember* to use them that way, let alone be able to!!!
So serene and beautiful!
always eye candy over here!
I just can't believe you can do what you do. I'm amazed every morning.
Gorgeous sandpiper, Theresa!!! I tried to e-mail you with a question but it came back to me .. can you help me as I still want to send this to you as soon as possible. Thank you so much!

Theresa, your beach scene is gorgeous. I love how you sponged the background instead of using a brayer.
