Hello crafters! I'm going vertical for today's ocean filled card. I started by cutting the
Slimline Stitched Rectangle Trio Aperture in white. I added mounting foam to the back to raise it slightly. Next I used the
Turquoise Cascade Watercolour ink and dabbed it with a piece of kitchen roll onto another piece of white card to give it the look of water in the background. I attached the aperture trio over it. Using the
Fishbowl die set and the Underwater Accessories, I cut the castle, seaweed, and small fish and seahorse and added them to the openings. I used the Swimming By To Say Hi sentiment cut out of aqua and black card in the centre aperture. I used the small wave from the
Nautical Accessories in the lower opening and added the seaweed and larger fish to it. I made a white frame to go over the apertures using the
Slimline Essential Frames. The card was completed with white mats and layers. The finished dimensions are 4 3/4" x 9 1/4" in size. All for now, Sue x
Morning Sue.
ReplyDeleteA lovely card so cute thank you.
Take care stay safe and have fun Kitty.
Fabulous card Sue xx
ReplyDeleteHi Sue and all Particraft addicts you're so lovely and caring. I need to learn to get to the point instead of going on and on like I did, I'm sorry. Anyway how cute is this little beauty, I know a little girl that would light up if she saw this and instantly make up a story around the dies you used, it really is a cute way to start the weekend and a bank holiday - wooohooo no workmen till Tuesday!!!!
ReplyDeleteSending love swimming your way, have a good one xxx
Morning Bernie and all Wilsonettes, what a stunner today, not that all of yours are not stunners, you know what I mean, this is gorgeous with all the detail in the dies of the fish and accessories, great idea, will try this one.
ReplyDeleteStay safe, healthy and happy, hugs, June Smith xxx
Hi there Sue and all.
ReplyDeleteA lovely card and one that I don't have any of the dies for unfortunately. I've been looking for a die to show water so I'll come back later to have a second look at this one of yours and see if I can steal something from it. You never cease to amaze me with your talents and the inspiration that you generate.
Thank you Sue.
