It's time for another Twofer over at Darnell's blog. I find these challenges really ... what shall we say? .... challenging!
The theme this time is Nautical
For the landscape card, I used a stencil from Neat & Tangled called Rice Paddies and I love it. With this I used some home made embossing paste and it worked beautifully. I had added some extra PVA glue to the mix and it was much better.
Here is my amended recipe
- 1/2 cup of talc
- 1 tablespoon of White Acrylic paint
- 2 tablespoons of PVA Glue
After I had masked and spread paste over part of the stencil, I removed it from the card and sprinkled over some WOW Vintage Peacock embossing powder. I waited until it had dried out somewhat before heat setting. It was a fabulous twinkle.
The silver heat embossed sentiment is from The Alley Way stamps. I simply added a whole shoal of little silver die cut fish.

The second card uses the same fish over an ocean daubed with Distress inks, and stamped with some white acrylic paint grunge dots. It's topped with a die by La La Land Crafts of Sea Bubbles. The sentiment here was computer generated. As I inlaid this die, I still have the negative die cut to use on another card!
What fun!
