Here is the Step Card I made using the "By The Sea" set. (Lots of pictures coming your way!!)
I made my step card using kraft paper and then cut out watercolor paper to match the size of the 'steps'.
I heat embossed the images with black powder and used my Distress Inks to color.
Then, I stamped the palm trees, chair, table, boats, clouds and banner
and popped them up to create the scene.
Here are some more detailed shots:
I used the two stamps from the "World's Best" set to create the sentiment banner.
I used pieces of plastic packaging cut into tiny strips to make the clouds appear to be floating in the air.
I glued them down to the kraft before adhering my watercolor panel.
