Seas the Day Slimline Card by July Guest Designer Rachel Alvarado


Hello crafty friends! It's Rachel here with one last card to share for you for the month! Thank you again to Newton's Nook for inviting me to be this month's guest. I have greatly enjoyed the privilege of working with these amazing products!

I created a triple porthole slimline shaker card featuring some cute images from the Tides of Love Stamp Set. I also added some fish and my sentiment from the Scuba Newton Stamp Set. I stamped all of my images onto a piece of Neenah Classic Crest Solar White 110 lb Card Stock, colored them with Copic alcohol markers (colors listed below), and used the coordinating Tides of Love and Scuba Newton Die Sets to cut them out.

For the base of my card, I trimmed some teal card stock with my paper trimmer and used the gorgeous Slimline Frames & Porthole Die Set to cut my stitched scalloped rectangle piece and my triple porthole piece from white card stock.  I blended some Distress Inks (Cracked Pistachio, Peacock Feathers, and Chipped Sapphire) onto another piece of Neenah Solar White 110 lb Card Stock to place behind my circular windows.  Once this blending dried, I used the Waves Stencil to add some wavy ripples with white ink.

I stamped my sentiment onto the front of my card with black ink and added both some clear acetate as well as 3D foam adhesive tape behind my top piece of card stock to create some room for my shaker embellishments.  Lastly, I adhered my images to the front of my card with more 3D foam adhesive tape for lots of added dimension.

Copic Colors Used: Teals: G000, BG11, BG23, BG13; Pinks: RV00, RV52, RV17; Greens: G40, G43, G46, G99, Browns: E41, E43, E44; Oranges: YR02, YR07, YR18; Yellows: Y11, Y13, Y15, V12

Thank you all so much for dropping by! I hope you enjoyed my card today!  Wishing you all a wonderful day!
