Sea Theme Blog Hop

I have made several projects with the sea turtle and seaweed stamp set.  I love this stamp set.  You can make really beautiful cards and layouts with it.

I basically used 2 techniques to create the background paper for the cards.    Alcohol Ink Technique and a technique using shaving cream.

Below is a link to a Tim Holtz YouTube video demonstrating the technique using the alcohol inks.

Here is a link to the shaving cream technique.  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dmDrd4FB6XE

Here are my cards using the alcohol ink technique as the background.  The turtle was stamped on background made with the shaving cream technique and  embossed in gold.  The top turtle I used a green distress ink to shade the turtles body.

Here are my cards using the shaving cream technique as the background.  The turtle was stamped on background made with the alcohol ink technique and embossed in gold. The sea weed for the top card was embossed with a sea foam green.

 The sea weed in the card below was stamp with clear embossing ink and embossing with clear embossing powder before the shaving cream technique was used.

The last project I created was (2) 2 page scrapbook layouts using the sea turtle and the mini cloisonne  starfish and shell.
