Countdown Day 5: Happy Birthday – MFT Stamps

Welcome back to the blog and another countdown to a new MFT Stamps release! This upcoming release is super cute with lots of underwater and beach stamps, products celebrating Pride, and much more!

STEP-BY-STEP INSTRUCTIONS

1. Using distress paints, create a blue background with a paint brush. I used tumbled glass, blueprint sketch, and stormy sky. I just painted back and forth, blending and added some texture to mimic an ocean current. I ended up stamping on top of the background so you don’t really see the texture, so in the future, I’d skip the texture part.
2. Once the background was dried, I stamped the Balloon Strings Background on top with white pigment ink. I do not recommend this as the pigment has a hard time drying. If you want to stamp on top, I recommend carefully heat embossing in white to seal the ink on top of the paint. Splatter with white paint.
3. Die cut the painted background and another panel of plain white cardstock with the largest die in the Wonky Stitched Rectangle Die-namics.
4. Create an ocean floor by cutting the white panel with the sea floor die from the Under the Sea Die-namics. Ink blend the ocean floor with brown ink and splatter with water.
5. Die cut the rocks, coral, and plants from Under the Sea and color with various copic markers. Arrange and glue the items down.
6. Die cut the pieces for the submarine from Yellow Submarine Die-namics from white and yellow cardstock. Color the small pieces with copic markers.
7. The sentiment on the front is from Itty Bitty Basics.
8. Inside the card, stamp another sentiment and imagery from Oceans of Fun.
