I Love Every-fin About You Card by February Guest Designer Lori U'ren



Hello crafty friends!

It's Lori today and I'm back with my third post as NND February Guest Designer!
I mentioned last week that I loved ocean themed cards, so today I have another one to share.

I Love Every-fin About You Card by February Guest Designer Lori U'ren | Tides of Love Stamp Set, Land Borders Die Set and Sea Borders Die Set by Newton's Nook Designs #newtonsnook #handmade

I began my card by creating an A2 sized card base and then die cutting waves from the Sea Borders Die Set all in different shades of blue. I also die cut the ocean floor from a the Land Borders Die Set in Kraft cardstock.

Next I stamped out all of my images from the Tides of Love stamp set on #80 Neenah Solar White cardstock using Hero Arts Intense Black Ink. I ran the images through my Brother Scan n Cut and colored them with Copic markers. For my whale, I knew from the moment I saw this stamp set, I wanted to color his belly with rainbow colors. After coloring all of the images, I heat embossed the sentiment I love Every-fin about you! in WOW! Earth Tone Blueberry embossing powder to match my card.

I used thin foam tape to adhere the ocean floor and waves on my card base, and a combination of thin foam tape, 3M foam tape, Glossy Accents, and liquid glue to adhere the images to my card.

I also stamped the inside of the card with the whale and the sentiment I whale ALWAYS love you!

To complete the card I added little hearts above the whales spout, iridescent acrylic bubbles, and clear acrylic bubbles around the card. I added small dots of Glossy Accents around the card as well to look like more bubbles in the ocean.

I used a white gel pen for highlights and interest, and more Glossy Accents to the ocean animals.
