Rubber Stamp Tapestry Seahorse Garden Stamp Set

I absolutely love the Seahorse Garden Peg Stamp Set SAQ00006. I created the card base by cutting and 8 ½” x 11” piece of the The Paper Cut’s Lunar Blue Cardstock in half for an 8 ½” x 5 ½” card. I then scored a line at the 4 ¼” position and fold the card in half. That gives us an A2 card measuring 4 ¼” x  5 ½” card front..

I used the following Memento inks on this project: Large n Seahorse – Danube Blue #600; Tiny Seahorse -- #200; Starfish – Solid Tart #703; Anemone Flower – Lulu Lavender #504; and the Kelp closes out the place – Teal Zeal – #602.

To finish out the nautical theme, I used elements from Elizabeth Craft’s Shells Large set #1146. I cut out the dies using Elizabeth Craft’s White Soft Finish Card Stock, 85-pound weight. I colored the die cuts with Pan Pastels using 340.5 Permanent Red on the crab and 925.5 Pearlescent Orange on the shells.
