Spanish Phrases “Frases en Español”

Did you know that Rubbernecker has two brand new clear sets with Spanish phrases?  For my project today I used the “life is better at the beach” phrase from the Frases en Español #1 set.  I wanted the phrase to be the main focus of the card so I created a soft sponged beach scene to highlight it. I created the scene on a decorative layer using the Inside Scallop Nested Set and added dimension to the scene using the Palm Trees, Grass #2 and Small Birds.

Create the Scene

• Cut the scalloped layer using white cardstock.
• Use a blender brush to apply Antique Linen ink for the sandy beach.
• Apply dots of texture to the sand using the dune image from the Beach Master.
• Apply Tumbled Glass ink to the ocean area using a blender brush.
• Create the puffy clouds using a cloud stencil, blender brush and Tumbled Glass ink.
• Secure the scene layer in the MISTI and stamp one of the Spanish Phrases using Nocturne ink.
• Note:  I blended the scene colors on without using any masking so the edges of the scene would appear to fade away.

Assemble the Card

• Apply strips of mounting tape to the back of the scene layer and attach it to the card base.
• Cut the palm tree using green and Kraft cardstock.
• Apply Antique Linen ink to the tree trunk using a mini applicator.
• Attach the palm fronds to the trunk and attach using glossy accents.
• Apply strips of mounting tape to the back of the palm tree and attach it to the scene.
• Cut grass sprigs using green cardstock and attach a couple to the base of the tree using glossy accents.
• Cut a single bird using white cardstock, apply Pumice Stone ink to shade using a mini applicator.
• Apply a small piece of mounting tape to the back of the bird and attach it to the sky area of the scene.
