Good Saturday afternoon. My project today was made for the Splitcoaststampers Inspiration Challenge and our inspiration site this week is EcoCycled on Etsy. I wasn’t particularly inspired by any certain piece but more inspired by the print behind all of the art pieces. I had my new Essentials By Ellen Stay Salty Stamp Set and Stay Salty Die Set from playing with them for the new release this past week. I thought it would be fun to create an ocean scene with a print background. I couldn’t resist using those fun die cut waves again.
I stamped the print background on cream cardstock with versa and embossed with it super fine gold embossing powder. I sponged in the sand using Vintage Photo ink, water and clouds in the sky using Tumbled Glass ink an an ink blending tool. I used my new Ink Antics cloud template for the clouds. I sponged blue on a piece of cardstock and cut out the waves. I stamped the boat on cream cardstock with versa and embossed with gold embossing powder. I applied the blue ink on the boat and then used my craft knife to cut in between the sails. I applied Cosmic Glitter Glue on the waves and applied glitter. I applied glue on the sand beach area and applied glitter. The sail
I cut the frame using my Nesting Card Templates and attached it to the card base using strips of mounting tape. I applied mounting tape pieces to the back of the waves and attached in the scene. I finished by attaching the little sailboat in the scene with mounting tape. I had fun with this project but not sure that I am overly fond of creating a scene over print. But it’s always good to try and step out of my comfort zone.
I hope you have a wonderful weekend and I appreciate you stopping by today.
Card size: 5.50” x 4.25”

I was getting ready to comment on the fact I like the idea of using the print bg – then I ready your comment! You certainly made it work. I probably would not do this often, but it is fun for variety.
I so enjoy coming again and again to your site. You have beautiful designs.
