A Splash of Underwater Fun!

Hello Everyone!

Michelle here today with a set of three coordinating bookmarks using the Bookmark Dies. 

Each bookmark is its own little moment, but line them up and you’ve got a full ocean adventure, complete with seaweed, bubbles, and some very fishy characters.

I stamped out all the images and some extras of the smaller fishes from the Fintastic Friends stamp set. I coloured them all using alcohol markers and added white highlights. 

I die cut the large main part of the bookmark three times from purple cardstock.

For the background of the inner parts of the bookmarks, I die cut them all from a piece of 6 x 5.5 inches white cardstock that was ink blended with Salvage Patina, Peacock Feathers, Salty Ocean and Chipped Sapphire Distress Oxides (you could also use blue cardstock to begin with if want reduce the amount of ink blending). I then splattered 2 shades of metallic blue watercolours over the top to give it the look of bubbles and the shimmery sea. 

Once everything was dry, I adhered the main bookmark and inner background sections together with liquid glue before laying out all the images to decide where I wanted them. This part took me longer than expected as I wanted to make sure that each bookmark had a main character as well as being balanced to stand out on its own and all together. 

Let minnow what you think of the end result. 

Happy Crafting,

Michelle
