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!

Ombre sponging technique with Flowering Foils

March 5, 2020
Before I talk about today's project I have to let you know that they Golden Honey Designer Paper is no longer available. It was one of the free choices during Sale-a-Bration. Unfortunately these products are only available while supplies last. So don't delay on your orders!

This next card is a version of a card I'm sending to my new Team members who purchased the Starter kit this month. I chose to use Bermuda Bay with Black and White; you know the 'Black & White with a pop of color' theme. It's a classic and always works!

Save

I started out with a 2" X 5" strip of the Flowering Foils specialty designer paper. It's gorgeous with silver and rose gold foil designs. You can see it here. It's a free choice with any $50 order while supplies last.

I inked a wedge of sponge in Bermuda Bay ink and lightly sponged from bottom up. I always start off of the card stock when I want a smooth look. Also sponge in a soft circular motion; almost like you are washing it. You can see me demo this in my FB Live video here.

Other Details:
- Rare Blessings stamp set for the greeting
- Stitched So Sweetly dies
- pearls are colored with the dark Bermuda Bay Blends marker
- The flower is fussy cut from the same designer paper and colored with light Bermuda Bay Blends marker
