Also used:

To begin this fun card I stamped up the Moon stamp with the DI'S 

I then stamped the outline stamp, from the Hooray stamp set, in black onyx versafine ink. Once heat dried I then stamped the solid stamp in DI'S,  over the outline image 

The fun and cute Angry Birds were stamped in the versafine ink and then a hint of colour was added using the DI'S and a water brush

I die cut out the mixed media 

I stamped one of the Cherry Blossoms onto white card, in Versmark ink, and heat embossed in gold embossing powder 

I coloured it in with my kuretake clean colour pens 

I stamped the True Friends sentiment in black versafine ink, near the top corner of the white card

Morning crafters

Hope everyone is well and had a good weekend

I'm back again for my regular weekly Monday morning blog for
www.bumbleberrys.co.uk

Today I'm showcasing the fabulous
Ocean Pals stamp set. This is such a cute and versatile stamp set and can be used in conjunction with many of the other stamp sets available on the website

To begin a cut a piece of cardstock slightly smaller than the card A5 card blank

I used Cracked Pistachio and Wilted Violet Distress inks to create a blended background. I added droplets of water which I lifted off with kitchen towel and I used the Wilted Violet DI through a dotty stencil

Using a circle die, I cut out 3 circles

The circles were adhered directly onto card blank with wet glue, once the remainder of the background had been adhered with foam pads

A black pen was used to create wiggly lines round the edge of the card blank

I stamped a variety of the Ocean Pals onto white card, coloured them in using my Kuretake Clean Colour pens, and a water brush.

These were cut out and adhered to the inserted circles, using wet glue

The sentiment was stamped in Black Onyx Versafine Ink and cut up into 2 before adhering to card with foam pads
