Today's Create With Stamping Friends Saturday Hop theme is our favorite new DSP. If you’d asked me a couple weeks ago, my answer would have been something else entirely…. I'm fickle that way, lol. So this week my favorite is Scenic Coast Specialty DSP - the water reflections are a shimmery iridescent. So pretty IRL! And I absolutely LOVE how it is the perfect background for the Sunset Coast Bundle. I mean, WOW - add a few die cuts and a sentiment and you have a stunning masterpiece!
For today's project I tried the Faux Louver technique, with a little twist. Instead of cutting all the strips 1/2", I alternated 1/2" and 1/4", so I could space the 1/2" strips a little closer. For this technique, you'll use two identical pieces of DSP, cut the first piece of DSP in strips, then line alternate strips up (matching the design) over the second piece of DSP and adhere with dimensionals.
The Night of Navy sailboat die cut piece measures 3 1/4" x 4". I heat embossed the greeting first so I would know where to place the die. The inside was finished with a Night of Navy sentiment, and then the water, sailboats and sun stamps were inked lightly with sponge daubers before stamping the card liner.
That's all for today - see you next Saturday! Up next is Libby Fens at Libby Stamps. Or click the "back" button to go back to Lori de Groot at Loritamarie Crafts.
