Hello there, Michelle here and today I have a card to share that uses subtle colouring with Copic Markers and the new You & Me By The Sea Stamp Set.
I first took a panel of white cardstock slightly smaller than my finished card base of 3 1/2" x 5 7/8" which is known as 4 Bar size. I stamped the anchor image from the You & Me By The Sea stamp set on to this three times using Soft Granite Ink. I used this ink not necessarily for no-line colouring, but to give a subtle look. I then stamped the sentiment using Intense Black Ink (which is suitable to use with alcohol markers).
I then coloured the anchors in very simply using W5, W3 and W1 for the anchor itself and E44, E42 and E40 for the rope. The panel was added to the 4 bar note card (made from Snow Layering Paper), using foam tape.
A very clean and simple card but I like the effect of the subtle colouring. Thank you for stopping by today. Happy stamping!

I love this pretty CAS anchor card! Beautiful!
Your coloring is perfect, it makes those little anchor jump right off the card!
Love this nautical card, but am so bummed that the kit is sold out already 🙁. I just went to the sight to make my purchase and it says “sold out”. UGH!!!!
