Under the Wave – Tutorial #167
Oh My, I have so very much going on in my life right now, but I don’t want to neglect you faithful blog readers. So today’s tutorial is one using yet another retired set from Stampin’ Up called “Roll On” dating back to 2005.
Before we get going on the tutorial I have an exciting announcement to make. I’m going to be in Wheaton, Illinois doing Beginner and advanced workshops March 13 & 14. E-mail me at mzindorf@aim.com to sign up. Spots tend to fill up fast.
Now on with the tutorial. 
Supplies:
| Stamps: Stampin’ Up Retired set “Roll On” |
| Paper: Stampin’ Up Whisper White, Taken with Teal |
| Ink: Stampin’ Up Taken with Teal, Glorious Green, Tempting Turquoise, Palette Noir Black, Adirondack Stream |
| Accessories: Prismacolor Markers, Brayer, Versamark marker, White Gel Pen, Clear embossing Powder, Heat Gun, Sponge |
Stamped the image on a 5″ x 5″ piece of Whisper White card stock using Palette Noir Black ink.
Note: If you heat set the ink a bit with a heat gun before coloring it doesn’t smear as badly.
Colored the front of the surf board with a Sunburst Yellow Prismacolor Marker.
Colored the back of the surf board with a Yellow Orange Marker.
Colored his skin with a Buff Marker.
Went over his shirt and shorts with a Peacock Blue Marker. It is hard to see, sorry.
Colored his hair with The Sunburst Yellow Marker.
Carefully colored over the image with a Versamark marker. Color the light areas first and clean your marker well on scrap paper to try not to smear the black parts of the image.
I wasn’t to careful and his skin lots a little dark. Oh well he has just been out in the sun too long, lol.
Heat embossed the image using clear embossing powder and a heat gun.
Brayered Taken with Teal ink on the bottom of the card stock.
Brayered Glorious Green at the bottom of the card stock not covering the Taken with Teal ink entirely.
Brayered Tempting Turquoise at the top of the card stock. See how I left a light area in the middle.
Tore a wave shape from a piece of Whisper White Card stock.
Sponged Glorious Green ink at the top of the wave shape.
Sponged Taken with Teal ink in the middle area of the wave shape.
Adhered the wave shape to the card stock.
Sponged Stream ink around the entire outside edge of the card stock.
Added White Gel pen streaks and dots around the surfer and surf board.
There you have it! The finished card measuring 5.5″ square.
I wasn’t sure how this card was going to come out. I took a risk and found out that I really like it. I hope you do too.
May your day be filled with excitement and joy!
Until my next post. . . . . . .. . . . . . .
Hugs,
Michelle

Michelle you never cease to amaze!!!!! Have a great day and thanks once again for an awesome tutorial. OBTW I used to live in IL and know where Wheaton is. I moved to sunny AZ because of the awful winters and vowed never to return but knowing you will be there makes me wish I was there too….at least just for a day for your class…he he.

I absolutely love your tutorials, but I finally tried to use my brayer and don’t get your results, obviously! How can I brayer without getting lines that show up and rough breaks (only thing I can think to call them)? Yours always seem so smooth and seamless. If you answer me personally, (and I know that is asking alot) my email address is flygirl727@comporium.net. Thanks~!
How do you continually come up with such great ideas….amazing
Really loving the teen male cards michelle. Only wish I had the stamps and could do the awesome job with them that you do.
Have a wonderful day my friend
A quick comment from London UK – I’ve been visiting your Blog several times a week for a couple of months now and just want to say how much I admire your work. You are inspirational, imaginative and a very creative and clever lady.
Many thanks for posting your tutorials, I have learned a lot from them – even at this distance!
I hope things look up for you soon. Keep smiling.

Another awesome guy card and wonderful tutorial!! Love it!!!
Great card! I looked up Wheaton, Illinois…DRAT! It’s 5 hours 13 minutes from me. I can’t drive that far anymore without falling asleep.
so very cool!!! Some guy is going to Love this!
Hi Michelle~
Wow!!
That wave is awesome!

Ooooh what fun! This is really a fun stamp. I am so green with envy with all your teriffic ideas like the paper for the wave…go imagine. I love it along with all the others…but what is not to like/love!!! Thanks so much for sharing. Your tutorals always give me inspiration.
Best of luck (like you need it) with your new class.
I love the paper wave idea. Please keep us informed about what’s happening workwise as well.
You are sooooo talented! Every time I think a design can’t be topped, you top it.
Hi Michelle,
I ´m full of respect for your beautiful work and thank you for your tutorials.
But if you do the card with the surfer once again, maybe you should try to turn the stamp up like on the second photo with the yellow marker. So that it seems, that the boy surfs from the top down. I think, your great card will be greater (if this is possible).
I hope, you are not angry about my answer….

Whoa!! Love that incredible card! You sure know how to rock the game! I’m glad you took the risk!
Awesome card, Michelle! Your work always amazes me!
