Here's our sketch for you this week with Try Stampin on Tuesday with the optional theme of ocean. I don't do a lot of ocean themed projects - I'm more of a woods girl - but I so loved doing this card. I used the gorgeous stamps I have from Kaisercraft called Mermaid Tails which are years old.
I started out by making my background with lots of Tim Holtz distress inks and then added some Texture Paste over a stencil to crate the bubbles and give lots of texture. I added inks over the tops also so it wasn't just a mass of white bubbles.
The side panel had the same stencil but without the texture paste. I stamped the images in Versafine Clair Warm Breeze which stamps really well over all that texture. I added a touch of linen thread for the anchor. The sentiment is from the same set and was fussy cut out. This is such a fun card fold too - I hope you enjoy playing along.
I'm also adding this into the following challenges :
Cardz4guyz - shades of blue
Retro Rubber - AG
Path of Positivity - Enjoy Nature
Dragonfly Dreams - summer fun
The paper players - beside the sea
Rainbow Card Challenge - Teal
Creative Fingers - AG
FabnFunky - I can see the sea
The sisterhood of crafters - the ocean is calling
My card was chosen as a top 3 for the following challenges
