Today I struggled a bit with this "By the Bay" Sale-a-Bration set. I am not big on coloring detailed images and this one had a lot of detail. I ended up grabbing the Blender Pen, a clear block and my markers.
The base of my card is a folded half-sheet of Whisper White card stock.
On top of that is a 4" x 5-1/4" piece of Balmy Blue that I textured with the "Subtle" emnossing folder that gives the paper the look of linen. I did stamp the words before I embossed. And they were straight too! I don't know, it must be the angle of the photo that makes it look crooked. Looking at it in real life I see them on there straight!

I cut a piece of Whisper White card stock 3-3/8" x 2-1/2" and I stamped the image from the "By the Bay" set. I colored the greens using the Granny Apple Green marker. I also used the Soft Suede and Crumb Cake markers to color in the brown areas. The roof was mostly Soft Suede and I did add a little Cajun Craze as I was coloring in the house front.
I added some Balmy Blue to the water area and I sponged in the sky using Balmy Blue ink.
It wasn't as bad as I thought it would be but coloring like this is still not as fun as using the Blends pens.

Once I got the image colored I cut a 3-1/2" x 2-3/8" piece of Basic Black card stock and layered it behind the image. Then I set the layers in place using Dimensionals. And the card was done.
You can look for this stamp set at the end of March in my web store. It's one I don't think I'll be using much at all.
Thank you SO much for stopping by today,
