Last years Summer Release from Penguin Palace was incredible. Full of large, fun images and gorgeous characters that just make me smile. My favorite thing ever, is when I can combine multiple sets to create unique scenes. I was so excited with this Spring Release, when I saw I could combine sets like The sweetest truck & Never Give Up to create the Sushi Food Truck, and with this card, I combined Summer Sunshine & The More we Get Together. It’s like they were meant to be.
Instead of using the incredibly cute little girls from the Summer Sunshine set, I focused on the cool cats. There’s a cute cat fish in the ocean set too, I don’t know if the fish ate the cat, or the cat is wearing a fish costume, but it’s adorable and the illustrations coordinate.
I stamped a ton of images from both sets and colored them up using bright summery colors, then die cut them using the coordinating dies. I cut the stitched layers from several panels of Bristol smooth cardstock, and inked them up using Distress Oxide Inks. After some splattering of water and white ink, I splashed a little watery ink on there too for texture.
I stamped Seas the Day onto the shortest sand layer then adhered all of the pieces together. I glued down my stamped images creating a split level scene. Then I popped up this entire panel with foam tape and secured it to some patterned paper that I die cut using the Cross Stitched and Dots layer dies. I have to say that these dies and the Dots Meets Dashes are my favorite rectangle layer dies. The extra dot detail is so much fun and adds a lot of interest to paper layers. They are really worth having in your crafty arsenal.
I hope you like this and practice combining stamp sets on your own projects. Thank you,
Davina
