This new Bathing Suits image from Lockhart Stamp Company is meant for piecing! All three bathing suits are on one stamp, and for today's project I paired it with some October Afternoon Fly a Kite papers.
The striped ribbon is Strano 5/8" Madge, and the big brad is from a Chatterbox Brad Maker kit.
To begin I used a Nestabilities big scalloped rectangle, and attached the stamped image using foam dimensionals. The suits are stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black ink onto ivory cardstock cut with a Nestabilities small rectangle, then outlined the images with Copic W1 for shadowing.
The suits were stamped again onto white (Papertrey) cardstock and colored with Copic markers. The flowers on the blue suit were highlighted with the clear Spica pen.
The suits were cut out, and foam dimensionals were added to the stamped ivory cardstock. The suits were far easier to cut out than they look.
I added Hero Arts tiny flower bling to two of the suits.
Card front and interior sentiments are from A Muse. Card base and coordinating envelope are Memory Box Lagoon. The bathing suits on the card interior were stamped with Memento London Fog ink, and a leftover strip of October Afternoon paper added some color.
Finished card size is 5" x 4-1/4". A half-inch was removed from the standard 5-1/2" card width to accommodate the ribbon on the side. Thank you for stopping by today!
