Sea You

Hi crafters!  It's a fun sort of card for a Monday morning!  I started with a piece of coconut white card and stamped my sentiment at the top centre of the card.   I used the inside of the fishbowl die and traced it lightly with a pencil.  I stamped the cat from the Fishbowl Friends stamp set so that it was partially inside the fishbowl area and outside to the right of it.  I coloured the cat then cut an aperture on the pencil line, saving the inside piece for later.   Using the round treat cup, I filled it with clear hand sanitiser and sealed it by gluing acetate over the top and allowing it to dry well.  I taped the treat cup in place through the aperture.  I embossed the inside aperture cut out piece using the Ocean Waves Pinpoint embossing folder.  I cut a couple of fish out of blue card and two seaweed pieces of out green card.  I used the matching stamps to add detail to the fish, then glued all the pieces on to the embossed aperture piece.  I added that to a larger square of white card then taped it behind the treat cup making sure that the cat would line up with the original stamp on the background.  I attached the original background over the front of the treat cup, lining up the cat, then inked lightly around the edge with Tumbled Glass.  I cut a Fishbowl and inked it with Tumbled Glass before attaching it over the top of the treat cup.  I made a table for the fishbowl to sit on by folding a piece of kraft card then adding some thin strips as legs.  I cut the Bermuda die out of white and backed it in white, then cut it in half down the centre.  I added a score line to help fold it over the table so it looked like a table cloth draping from it.  I completed the card with white on white pierced mats and layers. The finished dimensions are 7" x  7" in size.  All for now, Sue x
