Today’s card is a fancy fold called a Side Step card.  This is a relatively simple, but fun fold to create.  I cut my card base from Thick Whisper White card. To decorate the long panel on the left, I stamped the lighthouse image from the High Tide stamp set onto Whisper White using Smoky Slate ink with Night of Navy ink over the top.  I stamped the sand image from the same stamp set using Crumb Cake ink. I masked the lighthouse image with a post-it-note and stamped the sea image from the High Tide stamp set over the top using Bermuda Bay ink.  To create the sky, I used a sponge to dab Pool Party ink around the lighthouse.   Lastly I stamped some of the bird image from the High Tide stamp set around the lighthouse image using Memento Tuxedo Black ink. The image panel is attached to Bermuda Bay card and then the card front.  To decorate the right hand back panel, I stamped the sand image from the High Tide stamp set across the bottom of the Whisper White card using Crumb Cake ink.  I stamped the sea image from the same stamp set across the middle of the Whisper White card using Bermuda Bay ink.   I stamped the seagull image across the panel using Memento Tuxedo Black ink.  I used a sponge to dab Pool Party ink across the top of the card to represent the sky before stamping the bird image across the panel.  The stamped panel is attached to Bermuda Bay card and then the card front.  I stamped “happy birthday” from the Itty Bitty Birthday stamp set onto Whisper White card using Memento Tuxedo Black ink and attached it to Bermuda Bay card before attaching it to the card front.

I love this card, every time I walk past it, it makes me smile.

Bye for now,

Kris
