Trio of Inky Seashell Cards by Amanda Wilcox

 

Celebrate Summer!

Today we are sharing a trio of inky summer cards by Amanda that are perfect for celebrating summer moments!

To create this fun trio she started with watercolor paper and Tombow markers and created some ink smooshed backgrounds in three different color combinations. Sometimes it's just fun to play around and make inky backgrounds, right!? 

Next, she stamped the big circle image from our Seashell Roundabout Stamp Set using VersaFine Black ink over each inky background. She used our Circle Frames Die Set to cut the images out into scalloped circle shapes. Then she used pages from our Summertime Paper Pad to create pretty patterned background that coordinated with the colors on each circle. She cut the papers out using our Frames & Flags Die Set to give them the scalloped edges. Then, she added messages to each card using sentiments from the Seashell Roundabout Stamp Set, embossed in white onto black banners that were cut out using our  Banner Trio Die Set. A bit of sheer ribbon and a few black enamel dots finish off each card. 

Here are individual photos of each card so you can see them up close.  

We love this fun idea of inking backgrounds to create a series of cards that are similar, yet each individual! Plus, it's so fun to get inky!
