So Suzy Stamps Stamp of the Month Club June Release

Hi Everyone,
Its that time again!!! Its the June Release for So Suzy Stamps Stamp of the Month Club.  When I saw the starfish stamp it just made me smile!  Starfish represents summer at the beach which made me want to create a colorful and summery card.

Now is your chance to get it along with other stamps with a 10% discount. Just type Tina10 at checkout to receive your 10% discount for this month. 

Finished card 4 1/4"x5 1/2" folded landscape.

Here is a close up.

First I stamped the starfish stamp with archival black ink.  This will allow to color without creating ink blotches when coloring.  I colored the stamps with promarkers to be able to create blending.  You can use copics as well.  The colors I used is Burnt Orange and Mandarin.

For my background I cut a patterned paper 4"x5 1/4" from Echo Park - 6x6 paper pad - Sunshine. I inked the edges with distress ink - Mustard Seed. 

With the same patterned paper I cut some smaller strips for layering.  TFL!  Be sure to check out what the rest of the team did.  You can go here.
