Seas The Day
Hi bloggers! I selected a piece of pixie card that looked a bit like water. I used Teal Marine and Emerald Green Pixie Powders to create it. Next I cut the Underwater Life Frame in white twice. I nipped away some of the coral elements on the second die cut and layered them up with mounting foam. I added more seaweed across the top of the frame to encloe it. I cut the sea turtle from the Under The Sea Creatures die set in green then layered his shell on top. I added him on the side of the frame swimming downward. I cut the Seas The Day sentiment in black and glued it to the inside of the frame. The card was completed with white and black mats and layers. The finished dimensions are 7" x 8" in size. All for now, Sue x
There's those beautiful Pixie powders again, they're so pretty they bring any background to life. And are a perfect backdrop for the leatherback turtle 🐢 I wonder what you have for us the weekend, this past weeks inspiration has been really lovely thank you. I don't know how to show my appreciation for your brilliant die designs, I've been asked by a local florists to make Father's day cards for them, thanks to you, you have given me so many options, I've had to make a list of what I have and the designs I'm going to use, my head is buzzing with ideas lol, so my weekend will be spent back in my little room of fun as they want to see them plus a small selection of what I use to take to market. So I'll wish you and all that post a lovely day and keep well xx
Morning Sue, The play on words that you use for many of your sentiments is brilliant. Very clever! Lovely underwater scene too. Thank you. Crafty Hugs, Pauline
Hello Sue Lovely card today sorry I am late because I am at my daughters and we had a late night. I still can't walk without pain which is making me fed up. Steph I am so happy you are crafting again.Take care everyone x
Hi Sue. What lovely colours you have chosen for the background for today's card! and such a good idea to leave the die cut elements in white which doesn't detract from the detail but means that you can appreciate the background colour even more.
Good Morning Sue. Another lovely card today. And again in time for those men who love the ocean and sea life for fathers day. Thankyou Sue. Sending hugs 🤗 and best wishes to everyone who needs them today Stay safe and well 🙏. Kind regards Ann Toppcards in Leeds
