Hi, crafty friends. I’m back with another card using products from the brand new Charmed by the Sea release from Purple Onion Designs. This time, I made a mini slimline card.

I wanted a bit of a dramatic sunset for this card, and also for the critters (Gazing) in front to be looking at something else besides the sunset. Flipper was a good fit, and I used the bottom bit of the Ocean Background stamp to create the shoreline. I colored the scene with my Copics, and did very little blending in the sky. The streaky sky reminds me of Edvard Munch’s work, and though completely unintentional, I’m very okay with that.

I adhered my colored panel to a card base I created from Stamper’s Select White cardstock from Papertrey Ink, stamped a sentiment from the coordinating sentiment set using Classic Kraft ink, also from Papertrey Ink, before finishing off the card by drawing in white dots for the foam near the shore using a combination of a white Posca pen and my Gelly Roll 05 from Sakura.

Lots of colors for this one.

There’s still time to take advantage of the bundled promotion. You can purchase the entire Charmed by the Sea collection at a whopping 30% discount until June 29th. The bundle includes all 34 stamps (some are actually stamp sets) AND the coordinating sentiment set, so this is a huge release, and 30% off is a big deal!!!
