I tried the popular sunset-through-a-window card trend… but I didn’t have a window die! 😅 So I improvised with a trellis die—and I LOVE how this ocean sunset card turned out! 🌅🌊✨
In this month’s Ocean Vibes YouTube Hop, I’m creating a serene handmade card featuring a sunset over the water, layered waves, translucent embossing glaze, solar paste, shimmer sprays, dry embossing, and a gorgeous trellis covered in colorful flowers. This card definitely went through a “trust the process” phase! 😂 What started out looking a little questionable eventually transformed into a glowing sunset scene with shimmering water, reflections, and a beautiful floral trellis.

I would appreciate you taking advantage of my affiliate links at no extra cost to you. It would help me continue to bring fresh content back for you. All other opinions and tongue twists are my own, lol.
I also share how I:
✨ Create a sunset and water scene with layered ink blending
✨ Use a wave stencil to create texture in the water and sky
✨ Add realistic-looking water reflections with Solar Paste
✨ Use translucent embossing glaze to create shimmering waves
✨ Add subtle dry-embossed waves
✨ Turn a trellis into a faux “window” for the scene
✨ Build a floral arrangement around the trellis
✨ Add shimmer and sparkle without overwhelming the design
