This is a newly released stamp set from Stampin' Up called Wetlands. I saw cards made with this set all over Pinterest, and of course I had to get it! It'll come in handy making masculine cards!
I used Kraft cardstock for my card base and added a layer of Dark Chocolate cardstock. Next, I took a piece of white cardstock and placed masking tape along the edges, first tearing the tape to give it a jagged edge. Using a blending tool with foam, I loaded it with Antique Linen ink and rubbed it on the white to create the "sandy beach". I went over the light brown ink with Frayed Burlap, a slightly darker brown ink. I stamped the ferns in the corners with Chocolate ink, stamping them once fully inked and once with the ink stamped off.
I created the sky the same way by inking up my blending tool and then rubbing the ink - by doing this I can make the sky lighter or darker as needed. I stamped the ducklings in the middle of the card in Chocolate ink. Aren't they adorable? I die-cut the clouds and stamped the sentiment on the largest cloud, placing it on foam tape for dimension.
Now it was time to pull off the masking tape - and yes, it came out exactly as I wanted with a bright white edge to the card. I tied jute around the spine to complete the card.
