Seas The Day
Hello bloggers! I used a new product for the background of this card called Glossy Glaze. I used three colours; Blush Pink, Inspired Lilac and Spring Mint. It is sort of like a translucent texture paste, but with a lovely shine to it too. I applied it with a plastic palette knife randomly all over and set it aside to dry overnight. For the centre of the card, I cut a large oval frame using the Double Stitched Ovals. I added mounting foam to raise it. I cut a whole school of fish from the Under The Sea Creatures die set and I used aqua, periwinkle, sky blue and light purple card for them. I used the Aquatc Plants set and added seaweed in varying shades of green around the fish. I cut the Seas the day sentiment in black and glued it into the upper left corner of the card. The card was completed with white mats and layrs. The finished dimensions are 7 3/4" x 8 1/4" in size. All for now, Sue x
Hi Sue. This is amazing. It has to be my own personal favourite sample made from your recent release. You must have catered for most hobbies and interests throughout your die designing years, but imagine the size of the smile on someone's face that nurtures their tropical fish in an impressive fish tank... what an incredible card to give. Hope everyone is well. Sending hugs to all xxx
Hello Sue I made my brothers birthday card yesterday and had so much fun with your sea creatures. The embossing detail is amazing. Thank you so much Sue.Take care everyone x
The glossy glaze shows up nicely in your close up, must look out for this. A lovely selection of colours for your fish. My sons & grandchildrenwho scuba dive would love this card. Thank youSue.
Morning Sue and all. This is gorgeous - another cheerful, uplifting card, and so pretty too! To anyone considering the Glossy Glazes, I can highly recommend them! When they say “glossy”, they really mean it - it almost looks like a glazed tile when dry, and works brilliantly through stencils too! Colleen xx
Hi Sue, how lovely, your own aquarium that doesn't need cleaning! Love the colours of the fish and I am interested in the glossy glazes, I have seen them advertised but was unsure of the effect. Thanks Colleen for your recommendation.
Hi Sue and everyone, im always catching up nowadays as dont get my email reminders lol and my memory is terrible lol. I saw these glazes the other day and they are defo on my wish list. A beautiful card today Sue, I absolutely love the pastel colours and all the fish 🐟 look amazing. Yes I can see this card being great for many people and occasions. Hugs Donna xx
Hi Sue. Sorry I forgot to comment yesterday and what a stunning card this is. Love all the colours and the way it appears that you are looking through the porthole of a submarine at all the fish.

I lost my job few months back and there was no way to get income for my family, things was so tough and I couldn't get anything for my children, not until a met a recommendation on a page writing how Mr Bernie Wilfred helped a lady in getting a huge amount of profit every 6 working days on trading with his management on the cryptocurrency Market, to be honest I never believe it but I took the risk to take a loan of $1000. and I contacted him unbelievable and I was so happy I earn $12,500 in 6 working days, the most joy is that I can now take care of my family I don't know how to appreciate your good work Mr. Bernie Doran God will continue to bless you for being a life saver I have no way to appreciate you than to tell people about your good services.
