Waving Hello from Under the Sea

 

DT Annalisa waving hello to my fellow card fans today! I have an underwater scene created using stamps, dies and stencils from Time For Tea Designs.  I love creating ocean-themed cards and had so much fun making this one.

For the background, I used the Tiger Stripes 6 x6" Stencil. I used Mermaid Lagoon Distress Spray Stain on Distress Watercolor Cardstock by Ranger. I ink-blended Mermaid Lagoon Distress Oxide using my Beautiful Blender Brush to the white areas. I added splatter using a paintbrush, water and Copic opaque white. Once the panel was dry, I used double-sided tape to adhere it to a 4 1/4 by 5 3/4 inch card base.

For the stamp sets, I used Get Whale Soon (plus its' coordinating dies), Beach Buds (plus its' coordinating dies), Sealed With A Kiss (plus its' coordinating dies) and Fintastic Friends (plus its' coordinating dies). I coloured the images with Copic markers and added white gel pen accents with a Gelly Roll Pen.  

Next, I added sparkles to the edges of some images with a Quickie Glue Pen and Lawn Fawn Prisma Glitter. 

I used double-sided foam tape to adhere the frame I created using the Wide Stitched Frame Dies to the card base. I used liquid glue to stick all the images to the card. I adhered the sentiment using double-sided foam tape.
