SU High Tide

July 13, 2017

As I was playing around with the Colorful Seasons Bundle and the Color Theory DSP, I saw a lot of stampers were mixing it with the SU High Tide Stamp Set. They really do pair with each other very well. I designed this card using the Dapper Denim ombre pattern in the Color Theory Designer Series Paper Stack.

I die cut the adirondack chair from Real Red cardstock using the Seasonal Layers Thinlits to add a pop of color to the blue scene. To ground my chair, I added a 3/4″ x 3″ strip from the Wood Textures Designer Series Paper Stack. After I stamped and die cut the lemonade, I added some Clear Wink of Stella that is really sweet in real life! A So Saffron Stitched Shape Circle brightened up the card but was a bit toned down than Daffodil Delight.

I really love this card, what about you?

The new SU High Tide stamp set will make you feel like an artist when you are finished making a card. It is so EASY to create a scene with the sand, grass, lighthouse, birds, and water! The shadow on the lighthouse really finishes the scene…

In retrospect, I used Basic Gray for the shadow which I think was a good idea but I carried it through on the birds on the land and in the sky but next time, I think I may use black for both of the birds. What do you think?

A little insight into this card…

As we were watching our Steelers go down the drain last night, my mind wandered off to the Freshly Made Sketch Challenge # 271. So I inconspicuously excused myself to make this card.

I was thinking of how the light could be captured inside the design element in the sketch. Then my search for a sentiment…YOU LIGHT UP MY LIFE…came from the Jar of Love stamp set. There is also one in the Annual catalog’s Hostess Set No Pun Intended.

Look at the neat images you can use to paint your landscape…
