Funky Fossil "Starfish Wishes" Card

I grabbed a Funky Fossil stamp set that I've not used for some time.  It's the "Starfish Wishes" set.  Incidentally, on checking their website, I see that this A6 stamp set is reduced in price at the moment to £8.54 so a bargain if you're thinking of getting it.

I used Distress Oxide Inks (Fossilized Amber and Tumbled Glass) through the Funky Fossil "Scenic Borders stencil", repositioning the stencil several times to get an overlap of waves.

I stamped the shell from the "Starfish Wishes" stamp set using "Victorian Velvet" Distress Oxide ink.  I then coloured the image using "Tattered Rose" and "Tea Dye" Distress Oxide inks.

I stamped the "Listen to the sea" sentiment using Versafine Clair "Morning Mist" grey ink.

On a white card, I stamped the sea shell using Versafine Clair "Nocturne" black ink, again coated in Wow!

Funky Fossil Designs are launching five new stamp sets at 9am this Saturday, 27th June.  They will also be on Hochanda TV at 3pm with a lovely selection of stock to share with you.

For this sample, I have used one of the new Funky Fossil stamps from the "Starfish Wishes" set.

I used the Funky Fossil "In The Clouds" stencil to create the sky with "Tumbled Glass" Distress Oxide Ink.

For the sea and the sand area, I used a section of the Funky Fossil "Scenic Border" stencil.  For the sea I used "Peacock Feathers" and "Salty Ocean" Distress Oxide Inks.  For the sand I used "Antique Linen" and "Fossilized Amber" Distress Oxide inks.  I stamped the sentiment in Versafine Clair "Morning Mist" grey ink.

For the shell at the bottom right hand corner of the card, I stamped the image in "Victorian Velvet" Distress Oxide ink and then covered it in Wow! Embossing Powder and heat set.  I then adhered it to the card.

Funky Fossil Designs will be launching five exciting new clear stamp sets this Saturday 27th June at 9am.  On the same day, Funky Fossil will also be on Hochanda TV at 3pm with a lovely selection of goodies to tempt you with.

For this sample, I have used the new Funky Fossil "Starfish Wishes" stamp set. I masked off the central area of the card and used "Victorian Velvet" Distress Oxide ink through the Funky Fossil "Crackle Background" Stencil.  I removed the masked area and then stamped the three starfish images using the same "Victorian Velvet" ink.

On an off cut of white card, I stamped the same shape, using the same coloured ink then coated it with Wow! clear embossing powder and heat set.  Once cooled, I used a blending tool to colour the inner area of the shape using the same "Victorian Velvet" ink.  I then fussy cut the shape.

I used the Wow! Clear Embossing pad and coated the surface of the starfish image then covered it in Wow! Clear embossing powder and heat set.  I repeated this process three times to achieve an enamel like finish and then adhered it to the central image on the card.

Finally, using Ballerina Pink Liquid Pearls, I added dots around the images on the white background.  I stamped the sentiment using Versafine Clair "Morning Mist" grey ink.

This Saturday, 27th June at 9am, Funky Fossil Designs will be launching five fabulous new clear stamp sets.  On the same day Funky Fossil will be on Hochanda TV at 3pm with a selection of lovely goodies to tempt you with.

For this sample, I have used the new Funky Fossil "Starfish Wishes" stamp set.  I have to admit, I absolutely love this set already!

This card was a really quick card to make.  I used "Tumbled Glass" Distress Oxide ink, through the Funky Fossil "Messy Rainbows" stencil in the bottom corner of the card.

I stamped the starfish on an off cut of white card, using "Spiced Marmalade" Distress Oxide Ink.  I covered it in Wow! clear embossing powder then heat set.  I coloured the inner area of the starfish using "Victorian Velvet" Distress Oxide ink, applied with a paint brush.  I then fussy cut the shape and adhered onto the stencilled area of the card.  

Finally I stamped the sentiment, also from the "Starfish Wishes" set using Versafine Clair "Morning Mist" grey ink and added a couple of clear round embellishments.
