Hello crafters! I selected a background from my pixied stash to use for today's card. I used
Emerald Green and Golden Mint Pixie Powders to create it. Next I used the
Double Stitched Rectangles to make a wide white frame to go over the background. I used a piece of clear acetate and embossed it with the
Bubble Burst Embossing folder, then glued it to the back of the frame. I added mounting foam to the frame to raise it then set it aside to complete the inside of the frame. I used the Aquatic Plants and cut them out of various shades of kelp such as rusts and greens. I cut the treasure chest out of tan card and added gold coins and pearls. I cut the scuba diver out of black as well as the sentiments. I added the embossed frame over the scene. The card was conpleted with white mats and layers. Th finished dimensions are 7" x 8 1/4" in size. All for now, Sue x
Morning Sue and all Wilsonettes, a stunning card and by embossing the acetate you have created some lovely bubbles, perfect for underwater divers. The sentiment is so apt for this card too.

Hi Sue.
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful underwater scene especially the acetate emboss, a real feeling of bubbles, you're so artistic and clever, it's been a while since one of us has said "I'd love just a tiny piece of the creative side of your brain" lol the ideas you come up with are just amazing.
There were no posts here when I arrived and it wouldn't let me post this unless I changed from desktop view to Web view and I've not a scooby why this has just started to happen I'm such a techno fool, it goes right over my head lol.
To all, keep well and thinking of our missing friends. Love to all xxx

ReplyDeleteHi Sue, only a day late but here I am. This card is amazing and the depth achieved by raising the bubbles on acetate make it seem as though you are looking through a plate glass window at an aquarium, brilliant.
