You & Me Card Making Tutorial

Hi there and happy Friday! Today I have a card made with a set I illustrated quite some time ago called Aloha. I also used the fantastic brand new Spellbinders® Celebration die template set.

To begin trim white cardstock to 4 ½by 5 ¼ inches and sponge with Gina K Sweet Corn ink.

Punch a tiny circle from a sticky note as a mask for the sun and then sponge more yellow.

Sponge Gina K Sweet Mango.

Sponge Gina K Cranberry Tart

Sponge Gina K Edible Eggplant.

Use a sticky note to mask a horizon line in and sponge Gina K Blue Denim.

Trim a slightly curvy line in another sticky note to mask the water's edge and then sponge Gina K Kraft ink.

Remove the masks and sponge more Edible Eggplant along the bottom and sides.

Use Faber-Castell Big White Pen to add reflection for the sun in the water.

Use a yellow pen to add a bit of color over the white.

Color in some waves with Copic marker BV13.

Blend with B21.

Then add C5 to shade and use the previous two colors to add more texture and blend.

Stamp the palm tree, from Aloha using Gina K Black ink.

Fill in with N7 and use C5 to shade below the tree a bit.

Add a bit of color to the palm fronds using YG95.

I layered the scene with Pure Luxury Dark Chocolate and used a Sandy Beach card base (4 ¼ by 5 ½ inches). The sentiment is from Spellbinders Celebration and cut/embossed from Pure Luxury Dark Chocolate cardstock.
