- Stamped the sentiment onto Bristol Smooth paper with Versafine Onyx and embossed in clear. (Love the different sized fonts on Reverse Confetti's Best Sentiments.)
- Embossed in black ink/clear embossing powder.
- Painted stripes, starting right above the sentiment and worked up. Used Adirondack Sail Blue reinker (no longer made) and a size 12 round brush. No water, except a damp brush. The different shades came from dipping just the tip of the brush into the drop of reinker every few stripes.
- Needed something. Found a heart stamp on the shutter on the window above my table! Stamped with Distress Oxide Salty Ocean. A great match.
- Trimmed panel so that the finished card would be about 3/8" narrower than an A2 card.
MOOD WHEN DONE: Happy. Makes me want to be at the ocean!

Fabulous!
HA!
I love “found a stamp on the shutter by my craft table!”
This card is awesome!
Thanks for the inspiration!

Paint rush and reinker! What a bargain rather than buying a stamp. It is an adorable card. You could enter it in the MISTI Monday challenge on SCS since it isn't an A2 card!

I love what you did here. Thank you for sharing how you made the stripes - it gives me a new way to look at my tools and create something fun.
I hope your week is touched by joy.
Oh, yes! Love this lots!
