Sunny Splash Card Tutorial

Brighten someone’s day with the Sunny Splash Stamp Set!

Ink up one of these retro swimsuits for a solid image and pair it with a fun summertime message. Or use all four prints to create a versatile beachy background. Go for a two-toned look by getting out your markers and colouring directly on the stamp to create a print that’s just your style. Dive deeper and try a new stamping technique. Mix and match swimsuit tops and bottoms by using the masking technique. Stamp the swim top of one image, cover with tracing paper so you can align the images, and then stamp the swim bottom you like. So many possibilities! Get creative with colour and try for a soft gradient ombre look. Using a sponge, gradually fade from one colour to another—like a fiery red and orange sunset or purple and blue magical mermaid moment. Bring a touch of paradise to every design! Also available in French.
