It's a sort of stained glass window look! I made a mask by punching a 1 3/4" circle out of a post it note, placing it over Whisper White card stock and daubing Marina Mist and Lucky Limeade ink inside. This is supposed to be pretty random but the green should be vaguely over land and the blue over sea. When the mask was removed, the globe image from The Open Sea was inked up in Basic Black and stamped over the top of the sponging using a stamp-a-majig for accurate positioning.
I added this sentiment from Teeny Tiny Wishes, which I love for its simplicity, and attached the panel to a card base using dimensionals.
Here's what you'll need to make today's card:
Stamps: The Open Sea, Teeny Tiny Wishes
Ink: Lucky Limeade, Marina Mist, Basic Black
Card stock: Whisper White
Other: 1 3/4" circle punch, sponge daubers, stamp-a-majig

My daughter's revision continues... "Did you know," she said to me yesterday, looking up from her chemistry book, "that acids can be strong or weak depending on whether they ionise or not?" I shook my head. "No, but that reminds me, " I said. "I need to ionise some shirts!" We shrieked with laughter over this but I don't think I'd better give up the day job just yet!
I've been using my Simply Scored diagonal plate today and I'll have the results here tomorrow if you'd like to see.
Hugs,
From my blog roll, I didn't believe this was a 3 minute card, came to get a better look. You need to be on a stamping up who's who, because you make their stuff look magnificent. Do they know about your talent???
