For our projects today, the design team is showcasing Newton’s Perfect Wave and Scuba Newton + coordinating dies:
I started with an A2-size Bristol smooth panel and used my Sunscape stencil and distress oxide ink to add the sun. I die-cut different shades of blue card stock and used the Sea Borders die set to create the waves. I also die-cut the Coconut trees and border frame from my stash to use for my scene and ink-blended them with distress oxide inks.
I stamped my image on smooth white card stock and colored him in with my Spectrum Noir Triblend markers. I die-cut the image using the coordinating die. I adhered my colored background to my card base and adhered the rest of the die-cuts with foam adhesive for added dimension.
I finished my design by adding glossy accents to Newton’s surfboard and stamped my sentiment on the card. Here’s a closer look:
For my second card, I stamped and colored my images using my Copic markers and used the coordinating dies to die-cut them out.
I used a Sea-border die from my stash to use for my scene. I also ink-blended some Bristol smooth A2-size card stock with some distress oxide inks and sprayed them with water to make it look like bubbles. I dabbed it with some paper towel, and adhered this piece on my card base. I adhered the the rest of my elements to the card with foam adhesive to add some dimension and also used some liquid adhesive.
To finish my design, I added some blue enamel dots on the card for added interest and texture and used glossy accents to Newton’s goggles. Here’s a closer look:
I absolutely LOVE creating “under-the-sea” and beach-themed cards! You guys will be amazed on how many cute stamp sets we are revealing this week. I can’t even pick a favorite!
