Hello Crafty Friends! Priscilla here from Nubble Light Designs. Today I am sharing a “whale” of a fun ocean-themed birthday card. I used a coordinating paper pad from the Kat Scrappiness “Friends Under the Sea” collection to cut multiple strips of  paper of various lengths to create a textured background. It turned out to be the perfect backdrop for an adorable whale image and coordinating sentiment!

I used the Kat Scrappiness Friends Under the Sea stamp set/dies and the Friends Under the Sea paper pad to make today’s card.

Card Details:

• Created an A2 top-folding sand colored card base.
• Cut strips of various lengths from the Friends Under the Sea paper pad.

• Adhered them to the front of the card, leaving the same distance between each strip.
• Ran the front of the card through my Big Shot machine using a bubble embossing folder from my stash to add texture.

• Stamped the whale from the Friends Under the Sea stamp set/dies onto light blue cardstock, die cut it out, and added shading with gray Copic markers.

• Stamped the sentiment “Have a Whale of a Day!” with blue ink onto the same cardstock and die cut it out with a speech bubble die from my stash.

• Adhered the whale and sentiment to the front of the card.
