Kindred Stamps April Release Blog Hop featuring Family is Forever

Hello Friends, today I am super excited to introduce you to one of the new and adorable Stamp sets from the Kindred Stamps April Release:  Family is Forever... I love this little girl and friend enjoying the sun and beach that I created not one but three cards showcasing this amazing new set.






CARD #1  DETAILS:

I started creating the background for this cute friends, I almost always like to use two or three tones on my cards to have a harmonic effect.  I wanted to create a beach scene with warm tones, to do that I used oxide inks in colors, squeezed lemonade and worn lipstick.  I then stamped and color the cute girl and friend with markers.  I color the sea water with salty ocean oxide ink and some water splashes, for the palm tree and sand I used kraft cardstock  and for the palm leaves I used oxide ink cracked pistachio.



I finally added some white clouds and stamped one of the sentiments from the stamp set OHANA!! I have to say I am in love with this cute couple of friends you can use for many occasions and for many different scene cards.  I hope you can be inspired to create something amazing with the new Kindred Stamps Family is Forever stamp set.

CARD #2 DETAILS:

For my card #2 I cut a white card base and smooshed the lightest oxide ink color Squeezed Lemonade after that I also smoosed Worn Lipstick and Salty Ocean mixed with water.  I colored a bunch of tropical leaves with Cracked pistachio Oxide ink and for the flowers I used markers as well as with the cute little girl I finally stamped the word ALOHA and added some sequins.


CARD #3 Details

I again used the same colors to create a little scene, I cut an oval from the white card base to be the window and adhere it to the back of the card also with the waves.  I colored the cute little girl and friend and adhere a bunch of leaves colored again with  Cracked Pistachio.  I adhere the characters with foam tape and add a little bit of shine with sequins.
