The Ways to Use It challenge today on Splitcoaststampers was to use embossing powder. I love to make beach scenes and make them sparkle with versa and Iridescent Ice embossing powder. I chose Gully & Goldy from Rubbernecker-Fishy Fishy. I stamped the image twice with Brilliance Black and heat set. I used a large dry watercolor brush brushed directly on the ink pad and to apply the sand and water using a stipple motion. I painted the images and then cut the second bird and fish out to pop up and set aside. I sponged the sky in with a light layer of aqua ink and added a little yellow. I used Liquid Applique to create sea foam in a thin layer and then patted with my finger tips to remove blobs and then heated. I sponged my versa pad lightly directly on the paper and then lightly poured a small mount of Iridescent Ice powder over the scene and heated. I popped the fish and bird up on the scene with glue dots and mounting tape. I stamped the sentiment with aqua ink and embossed with clear embossing powder. I love that the Adirondack Dye inks are so juicy that they can be used to heat emboss. I added some grosgrain ribbon and hung the sentiment with plain old string. Fun, fun, fun image to play with.

I am a big fan of yours! I love this card. I tried to order a few rubber necker stamps last week but can’t because the security code on the back of my credit card is worn. LOL! I love your blog!

Kittie it never ceases to amaze me at how you can take a couple of small images and create these fabulous scenes. I love this one. Gully looks just as annoying (and annoyed maybe) as gulls can be on the beach. Another Kittie wonder!

This is precious Kittie! I am hoping to find (make) time this w/e to play with those reinkers now that I have them all!
WOW! I’ve never seen such a realistic beach. A perfect thing for a frigid day like today.
Kittie, this card it hilarious and of course, done with your creative flair. Glad you’re back from your trip. TFS
I love, love, love this card!!! The images are wonderful but it’s your coloring that gives it such personality. TFS
This is so cute Kittie! I love the way the foam on the waves came out- it’s wonderful!
Wow . . . such an artist. I *bow* at your feet, and I can’t wait to see more and more! 🙂
