Let's take a closer look at how I created today's card!
Ink Blending and Stenciling
It’s no secret that I love patterned paper and that is typically
where I start but I have recently discovered the Awesome Sauce that Pajama
Crafter Stamps carries and it makes ink blending a dream! I started with ink
blending Peacock Feathers Distress Oxide ink with Awesome Sauce to create a beautiful,
blended cardstock. To add some interest, I used the Sunburst Stencil and that
same Peacock Feathers Distress Oxide ink to make it look like light coming down
into the water.
I felt like the underwater background still needed a
little something, so I sprayed and splashed some water onto it because Distress
Oxide inks react with water. I set it aside to let it dry.
Stamping and Coloring Sharks
While my background was drying I stamped out the Hammerhead
Shark and 2 of the Great White Sharks from the Happy Flappy Stamp Set onto MarshmallowColoring Paper and colored them with my Copic markers and then fussy cut them
out.
Copics Used:
Hammerhead Shark: W6, W5, W4, W2, E04
Great White Sharks: C6, C5, C4, C2
Finish the Card
I made sure the ocean background layer was dry and then
cut it, making sure to cut off the top and bottom of the stenciling where it
didn’t fit the scene I was creating. I cut this layer to 4 ¾ x 3 ½ inches. I
created 2 more layers, one in gray measuring 5 ¼ x 4 inches and one in white
measuring 5 x 3 ¾ inches.
I cut out a banner out of more ink blended cardstock with
the Banner Die Set and stamped my sentiment, Hello Chum onto it.
I adhered all my layers, popped up the sentiment onto
foam adhesive and then added a few Opalescence Confetti Embellishments because
I thought they looked like bubbles.
