Scenic Coast SDSP – Independent Stampin Up!® Demonstrator, Victoria, Australia

Welcome to the Colour Creations Instagram Hop. You can follow us on Instagram starting @craftwithkate. Each week we will showcase the Stampin’ Up! colours in alphabetical order.

Week 11 – Blueberry Bushel

My card this week is has the stunning Scenic Coast Specialty Designer Series Paper (DSP) for a beautiful sunset scene with the lighthouse [Sunset Coast dies] on the edge of the coast.

A Blueberry Bushel card base with a Basic White matt layer and a piece of the DSP on top.

The lighthouse die is cut from a piece of Basic White card which is trimmed down to appear like the lighthouse is sitting on the edge of a cliff. I used blending brushes to add Smoky Slate ink at the top and on the right side of the lighthouse and keeper’s cottage. Then some Blueberry Bushel ink is blended down the cliff with Secret Sea ink blended at the bottom.

I also added extra highlighting with Blends Combo Markers in Smoky Slate, Darling Duckling and Poppy Parade on the buildings, and on the cliff I used Smoky Slate at the top and Blueberry Bushel further down. This is then glued to the corner of the DSP.

Here’s a little tip for creating the sentiment which is on Blueberry Bushel card with White Wow Emboss Powder.

Today’s cards features the stunning Scenic Coast Specialty Designer Series Paper (DSP) for a beautiful sunset scene with the Rolling Waves Bundle.

These products are just perfect together, don’t you think?

My mum’s family have a beach house overlooking East Beach in Port Fairy, a small coastal town in the Western District of Victoria. I have very fond memories of waking up to the sound of the waves rolling in, it was such a calming sound and so good for the soul. We would take leisurely strolls on the beach and collect many shells along the way.

Here is my first card with the stunning sunset paper.
