At last week’s Card & Cuppa we once again used the very versatile Swirly Bird stamp set.

This time, we used the boat images and created this project.

We used Sponge Daubers for the Sun and Sea and Sponge Brayers for the sea and sky.  Sponge Brayers are great for creating fabulous effects really quickly.

Firstly we created our beach and then the sun from a piece of cardstock with a hole in the middle.  We then used the cut-out ‘hole’ to mask the sun before brayering the sea and sky.

As I couldn’t decide which card I preferred, I gave the attendees the choice of making a landscape or portrait card.  It was a 60/40 split.

Which is your favourite?

Don’t forget that Sale-A-Bration is running until the end of March.  It’s a great opportunity to get your hands on this fabulous Stamp Set and earn FREE products too.

To join us for next week’s Card & Cuppa classes, book your place by 18:00 the day before.
