I am really enjoying taking part in the weekly Global Design Project Challenges. This week’s GDP theme challenge is water creatures.
When I saw this challenge I knew which bundles I would be using – Seaside Bay and Beauty of the Deep.
I started with a piece of A4 Vellum paper and Stampin’ Blends in Granny Apple Green, Lost Lagoon and Night of Navy. By spritzing small amounts of isopropyl alcohol I created the watery design that I featured on the card. I also used it to stamp and heat emboss the images I used.
The card base is Lost Lagoon. I stamped the ‘seaweed’ image several times onto a Lost Lagoon panel before embossing it with the Painted Texture 3D Embossing Folder.
The 1″ strip of alcohol ink coloured vellum was attached to this embossed panel.
The white heat embossed images were cut using their coordinating dies from the Seaside Bay Dies and Beauty of the Deep Dies.
These lovely white images were attached to the panel using mini glue dots.
The greeting, from the Seaside Bay Stamp Set, was also stamped using Versamark and white embossing powder.
I used my new dies ready reference cards to find the best one to cut the greeting.
The Wonderful Thoughts Die was the best choice. I was able to reduce the length of the cut by repositioning the die and running it through the Mini Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine a second time.
The greeting panel was then positioned on the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.
The same ‘seawedd’ image was stamped on the card insert and envelope.
The final touch was to add some Tinsel Gems from the 3 pack.
I am very happy with this card – layout, colour and texture.
Tomorrow I have some Fathers’ Day cards to share with you.
Until then, happy stamping.
