Stampin' Up By The Seashore

This sandy little crab coming out of the water was stamped onto watercolor paper in Dusty Durango ink and filled in with a water brush.  I placed a mask over the crab with Post-It tape and stamped swirls of water and foam bubbles in Versamark ink and heat set with white embossing powder.  A sponge was used to add Coastal Cabana ink over the embossed water then I stamped the swirls again in Coastal Cabana.

Baked Brown Sugar was used to sponge over the basked crab and then the sand was stamped all around.  Base of the card is 4 1/4" x 4 1/4" in Bermuda Bay layered with So Saffron, Coastal Cabana and Crumb Cake.

I liked this card so much that I made several of them, some with the crab going into the water.  The crab is from the Stampin' Up set By The Seashore and is retired.
