Hi everyone, it’s Tina here. I used the Life Under The Sea and Embossed Edge Wavy Frame Dies to create a sea scene Birthday card. Below are the steps to create your own card.
Step 1 – Trim White Cardstock to 7″ x 6″, score at 3 1/2″ and fold in half for a vertical side fold card. (Mini Slimline)
Step 2 – Trim White Cardstock to 3 1/2″ x 6″. Apply any water reactive Inks of your choice onto a craft mat to create a background. I used Distress Oxide Inks in colors Tumbled Glass, Broken China, Salty Ocean and Uncharted Mariner. Spray water to the inks and dip your cardstock to it. Heat set the cardstock in between each application for favorable results. Let dry.
Optional – Spray the background with a Shimmer Spray. I used Brutus Monroe Shimmer Mist Pearl which enhanced the oceanic background I was going for. Adhere to card using Bearly Art Precision Glue.
Step 3 – Trim White Cardstock to 3 1/2″ x 6″. Diecut Embossed Edge Wavy Frame using the trimmed panel. Adhere to card front leaving a little opening at the inner bottom.
Step 4 – Diecut Life Under The Sea in various colors. I used White, Teal, Blue and Soft Green Cardstocks. Arrange and adhere to card using Bearly Art Precision Glue.
Step 5 – Stamp sentiment of your choice to the inner top right using Versafine Onyx Black Ink.
Step 6 – For added interest and sparkle randomly adhere Sparkling Snow Pearl Mix using Bearly Art Precision Glue.
This card can be used for several occasions by changing the sentiment. Below is a link to all the products used. Thank you for stopping by and Happy Crafting!
