Peace Be Still

I am up on the Sweet 'n Sassy blog today with these two cards featuring the Peace Be Still set from our June release. 

How is it June already? Seems like it was just March the other day. With Father's day being in June I decided to make one of my cards using this set a Father's day card because it has some great images that can be used to make dad cards. 

To create my first sample I started with a white top folding card base and a piece of Bristol (water friendly) cardstock panel. I stamped the boat image from the Peace Be Still set, colored it and then masked it off to create the background. 

To create the background, I used the Tim Holtz glass media mat and laid down some Speckled Egg (love this new color) distress ink, sprayed it with a little water and then picked it up with the bristol panel. I repeated this step with Peacock Feathers and Salty Ocean. After I achieved the look I wanted I added the waves also in the Peace be Still set. Te greeting is from the For my Father set. 

My second card uses the same set, Peace Be Still.

This time I started with a white top folding card base, a black panel and a bristol panel. I stamped a wave and then masked it off to stamp the next one. After I got them stamped I left the top row masked so I could create the sky background, I did that by using the Life Changing Blender Brushes and some inks. After I finished the background I removed the masks and colored the waves using Copic Markers. Its hard to see in the photo, but I added some shimmer to the waves with using a Nuvo shimmer pen and I also added some glossy accents to them as well. To finish the card I added a greeting from the same set, Peace be Still.
