Happy Under the Sea Card
Hi Everyone!
Elizabeth
here with another fun card for DeNami Design! This week’s theme is the beach
but I decided to take it a step further and make a fun under the sea card!
Lately I have been trying different techniques and combining them together.
This card combines ink blending and watercoloring! I love how this card came
out!
I will tell you upfront that this card is more involved than
most of my cards and it took me about 2 hours to create it. I blame all the
fussy cutting! For this card, I stamped out all of my images, and a few extra,
onto some masking paper using a black dye ink. You can use any ink that you
have on hand and if you don’t have masking paper you can use post it tape. I
fussy cut out all of the images, which if you know me, I hate fussy cutting but
it was worth it for this card! Next, I created my scene by placing the masks on
smooth white cardstock. I did some ink blending over the masks to create the
sand at the bottom of the sea and the water. At first, I was applying the ink
using the circle motion but the edge of my masks kept coming up so I switched to
pouncing instead and I love the results that I got! After I finished the ink
blending, I spritzed the panel with some water and let it set for about 20
seconds and then picked up the water with a paper towel. I removed the masks
and my sea animals were mostly clean so that I could watercolor them. Before I
colored them in I die cut my panel with a stitched rectangle die. Next, I
colored them in using dye inks as my watercolor with a water brush. After I
colored them I adhered the panel to a top folding A2 card base. To finish the
card, I add some glitter with a sparkle pen on top of all the sea animals and
sea shells. It’s very hard to photograph the sparkle you get the from glitter
from the glitter pens but I promise you, it’s there and it’s gorgeous!
I hope my card inspires you to try a new technique and
combine techniques to create some fabulous cards! Until next time!
