I started with an E acrylic block and the three colors of ink pads. I added Pool Party to the top of the block.
I added Lemon Lolly to the middle.
I added Soft Seafoam ink to the bottom of the acrylic block.
I placed the block ink side up on a Silicone Craft sheet to protect my work surface and sprayed the acrylic block with plenty of water until the ink started to run together.
Lift the block and add the Basic White layer on the Silicone craft sheet, quickly invert the acrylic block and place in the center of the card stock and press firmly on all sides of the block.
Remove the block and allow the card stock to dry.
Each time you do this the outcome will be unique!

Stamp the three different grass stamps onto the bottom of the inked paper.
Stamp in Lemon Lolly the splatter stamped image onto the Lemon Lolly portion of the Basic White cardstock to add some depth and dimension.
Add the Sentiment – I choose one from the Waves of Inspiration and I also stamped a few birds from that set as well in Pool Party ink.
I die cut the cloud image on a scrap piece of Basic white and with a Blending Brush added clouds to the Pool Party section of the White layer which added more depth and dimension!
Using the edge of my Paper Snips I distressed the edges of the Basic White stamped layer.
I adhered the Basic White layer to the Pool Party card base and added Iridescent Rhinestones around the sentiment.
Here is another version using the Ombre Matte Decorative Dots for the embellishment.
I love these color challenges and hope that you are playing along when you can! Now go and create some art of your own – one stamp at a time!
Happy Stampin’
