Pajama Crafter Stamps Shark Week | Hello Chum

Hello crafty friends! It's Shark Week at Pajama Crafter Stamps and today's card is all about the sharks!

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.

Have a happy day! Go do something for yourself and go get crafty!
