Extreme Surfing – Tutorial #419

It has been raining here in Ohio for soooooo long.  For days and days and days it has been raining.   I wish I were some where warm and beach like today.  I will be heading to a warmer climate on Friday.  I am off to Florida to teach, wooohooo!!!  Sunshine, here I come.

So with that in mind I created today’s tutorial, check it out. 

Let’s get started. . . . .  .

I got out my boxes of ink spots.   These little pads are great for direct to paper techniques since they have a pad that sits up above the ink pad base.   Just looking at all the colors makes me excited, lol. 

Since I wanted to cover the entire 4″ x 4.5″ piece of card stock, I chose to start out with a full sized Bashful Blue ink pad and used the edge of the pad to smear the ink on.

Now this techinque is not for the faint of heart.  You have to commit  to putting a lot of ink on the paper.    Making tiny strokes does not work here.  You need to make big strokes.

Using a Bashful Blue ink spot smeared in a wave shape.

Smeared in some Pacific Point ink.

Smeared in some Certainly Celery ink.

Added Not Quite Navy ink.

Stamped the Surfer using Pacific Point Ink.

Colored in the surfer with a Basic Black marker.

Added White Gel pen dots to the water behind the surfer and also to the top of the wave.

Assembled my card adding Stampin’ Up! Old Olive Designer paper ripped on the left hand side, 2 basic Black panels, Basic Black Ribbon and Jumbo Brads.

Here is my finished creating measuring 5″ x 6.5″.

May your day be just beachy.  🙂

Until my next post. . . .  ..  . . . . . .
