Directions:
Making the faux "Sand Dollar"
1) Using large starfish image, stamp onto vellum cardstock using white StazOn.
2) Make sure it is dry, then turn image over to back. Place on mouse pad or piercing mat.
3) Use embossing stylus, trace stamped image.
4) Use paper piercer and pierce the circle in the star center.
5) Trim out star image with paper snips-not in a perfect circle.
6) Sponges edges and star image with white stazon
7) Apply jewel in center
Set aside.
Steps for card base:
1) Make card base from Kraft cardstock (size 4 1/4 x 5 1/2)
2) Rip the top of a layer of sky blue and sponge edges in white StazOn. Adhere to bottom of card.
3) Rip the top of a layer in Caribbean blue cardstock, making sure it is smaller than Sky blue, then sponge edges with white stazon. Adhere to bottom of card.
4) Repeat above instructions for vellum layer. Attach with vellum dots adhesive (so you cannot see it).
5) Using speckled sand image, randomly stamp across top of card using the Glue Pad.
6) Sprinkle brown glitter over card. It will stick to the "sand".
7) Tie on organdy ribbon and hemp. Cut excess ribbon.
8) Using Sahara Sand ink, stamp solid starfish onto card 1/2 in "water".
9) Stamp sentiment twice (if you want dimension to the sentiment) using first white StazOn (let dry) then in Sahara Sand ink. A stamp-a-ma-jig would be helpful doing this.
10) Attach sand dollar to card with a glue dot.
