How to create a beautiful scene with the Peaceful Pier set; a free project sheet & video tutorial

June 9, 2025

I shared a video tutorial on how to create this gorgeous scene last week.

I used the Peaceful Pier stamp set, inks and blending brushes.

I first stamped the dock and tree images using Black Memento ink. Then added a few more 'grass' images at the bottom. Next you add ink with Blending Brushes. I used Lost Lagoon for the water, Granny Apple Green for the grass, Balmy Blue and Daffodil Delight for the sky.

I did color the dock and trees with Blends markers. I did not need to mask anything. As long as you're adding ink lightly with the Blending Brushes you shouldn't need to.

After I was finished adding color I used the Textured Notes dies to cut my image into 2 pieces. Ad added the frame to a Black CS layer and added the center with Stampin' Dimensionals. I love the dimension this gives to the card scene.

Below is the video tutorial on how to add ink smoothly with Blending Brushes. I hope you watch it!

I was playing around with the new In Colors and the pretty new Quiet Meadow Bundle and created this pretty card:

I wanted to see if I could add colored flowers to the green die-cuts. It was actually very easy to do! I cut the entire dies in Soft Succulent and then cut mostly the flowers in the colors. I then trimmed the flowers to add to the stems.

You can get a similar effect if you die-cut everything in White CS and then add color by sponging. I'll try that sometime soon and share the results.

I used the new In Colors of Soft Succulent, Fresh Freesia, Pale Papaya and Polished Pink. The only one I didn't use is Evening Evergreen. That pretty greeting die is also included in these Meadow dies! Can you see the shimmer on the flowers? I added a bit of Wink of Stella. The embossing folder is Tasteful Textile.
