Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps May Previews - Day Two: Keep Swimming!

Hello Krafty friends and welcome to day two of previews for the May release at Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps.

Today we are featuring a darling set from Cheryl Grant called KEEP SWIMMING.

Here is a look at my card featuring Lucas and the adorable turtle.

I played around with Distress Ink to created my underwater background. I used Cracked Pistachio, Peacock Feathers, Salty Ocean and Mermaid Lagoon. To create the effect, I spread the first 4 colours on my Ranger nonstick craft sheet and sprayed with water. I laid my water colour paper into the ink/water mixture and moved the paper around a little. After picking up the paper, I heat set it a little and then dipped in back into some of the ink to create more splotches. I then applied the last colour to the mat and applied water and again laid the paper down to add a few darker section. After each dip in the ink/water mixture, I heat set.

Here is a look at the inside of the card.
