Hello! Today's card was inspired, or rather CASE'd, from serelewis's card
The Clear Block Sea over at SCS (
here). I loved everything about her card so I changed very little, only the sentiment at the bottom. I should mention that
The Open Sea stamp set was originally featured in the Summer Mini catalog and normally I would have changed the image to reflect a current set. However, I absolutely love this stamp set and I have my fingers crossed that it will make it into the 2012-13 Idea Book & Catalog (please, please, please!?)
The technique used to create the blue background is very simple: use the clear block as a stamp! Ink it up and stamp on paper just as you would with a traditional stamp.
This card was super simple to make and could easily be mass produced... hmmm. Maybe I've found my masculine birthday card for the year!
