SSS Tumbling Shells Background Stamp

Hello hello crafty friends.  Thanks for stopping by for another tutorial.  Today I will be sharing how I made this SUPER DUPER easy card using Simon’s shells stamp and some embossing powder.  So let’s get started.

I began with an A2 size panel of Neenah Solar white 80lb cardstock.  I put my panel in my Misti and treated it with my anti static tool.  I inked up my SSS Tumbling Shells Background Stamp with SSS Clear Embossing ink.  I stamped my image on my cardstock. you might have to do this more than once to ensure the image completely transfers.  After that, I used SSS Antique Gold embossing powder all over my panel.  I put the excess back in the jar and heat set my image.

I pulled out my Distress Oxide Inks and starting with the darker color, I applied Seedless Preserve to the bottom of the panel.  Then I switched to Worn Lipstick then finally Tattered Rose.  I went back and forth to ensure my panel is completely blended.  I put my panel aside and stamped and distressed my sentiment using CZ Design Happy Days stamp and coordinating die set. (same process as above with embossing)

I trimmed down my panel a little on all side and attached it to some foam adhesive.  Then I adhered it to my SSS Fog cardstock card base.  I added some foam tape to my sentiment and placed it on my card.  I finished it off with some SSS Aztec Gold embellishments.

That’s it!  Super easy, right?!?  Thanks for stopping my.  The products I used to make this card and where I purchased them are listed below.  All you have to do is click on the image and go shopping.  See you next time.
