It is always fun to start a new week with a new collection of Stampin’ Up!® products.
This week I will share projects made using the new Friends of the ocean Suite Collection from the January – April Mini Catalogue.

I love the bold and brilliant colours that have been used in this collection.

My first project is my interpretation of one of the cards from the catalogue. Catalogues are a great place to seek creative inspiration.
I’m sure that you will easily identify the card I have CASEd.
Rather than landscape I chose a portrait layout and slightly adjusted some of the other elements.

I started with a Pumpkin Pie card base before attaching a Basic White panel to the card fornt.
Then I used the Soft Waves 3D Embossing Folder to add texture to a piece of Basic White Thick card.
I stamped the water bubbles in the top section of the card front using Summer Splash ink.
To add colour to this embossed panel I used a Blending Brush and some Pumpkin Pie ink. The blending brush allowed me to add the colour with varied intenity. Then I adhered the panel to the bottom section of the card.

I cut the seahorse, jellyfish, coral and seaweed elements and adhered them above the embossed panel. The little starfish was added to the embossed layer.
After stamping the greeting, onto a strip of Basic White card, I used the wavy die to cut the greeting layer. Then I popped it up on the card using Stampn’ Dimensionals.
The card insert and back of the envelope had more of the little starfish shapes added to them.
Finally, I added some of the Sunny Day Iridescent Dots to the card.
Tomorrow I have another card to share with you.
Until then, happy stamping.
