Seascape Sunset Greeting Card

I love this combination of stamp sets, dies, and colors. What a serene setting. So peaceful.

Create incredible layered dioramas with the Layering Diorama Dies! These dies nest to create a 3D effect for unique diorama card fronts. For an easy but intricate looking diorama, use a minimum of 3 diorama layers with tonal cardstock to create depth-of-field. Want to create a safari escape? An underwater world? Or frame a space exploration? The diorama designs are versatile to fit a wide variety of diorama landscapes!

    • Place large mask (yellow sticky) to cover the ocean while you create the sky.
    • Create the sky with Daffodil Delight and Calypso Coral ink and Blending Brushes.
    • Lift the sticky and use a new sticky to create a mask to cover the sky.
    • Create the ocean with Pool Party and Bermuda Bay ink and Blending Brushes.)
