Two Sea Themed Cards by Maria Russell

Seas the Day!

Today we are sharing a duo of cards by Maria featuring our fun Tranquil Tides Stamp Set! These sea themed cards are perfect for sending cool wishes on a hot day!

For her first card, shown above, she use the images of the crab and starfish from the Tranquil Tides Stamp Set. She repeat stamps them in a row, with red and blue ink. She then cut out the one crab using a circle from our Circle Frames Die Set and added the sentiment in black over the crab! So cute! She adds this strip with a black border onto her white card base for a fun and simple card layout! 

For her second card, she created a a gorgeous sea of fish and coral using our Tranquil Tides Stamp Set:

She created a stripe of sea themed fun using several of the images from our Tranquil Tides Stamp Set in different colors. She added a frame of white over the top, adding curved die cuts using our Land Borders Die Set. 

Then she stamped a trio of fish in yellow, a duo of pink starfish and a red crab and cut them out using the Tranquil Tides Die Set. These fun images layered over the background give a fun bit of dimension to the layout! She adds the sentiment in black and a few bubbles to finish it off! 

What a fun way to use the same stamp set to make two very different but equally fun cards!

Seas the Day Card by Maria Russell

SEAS the day!

Today Maria has created a fun underwater greeting that will inspire you to SEAS the day! 

For this fun card she combined two sets from our Retirement Sale. First, she used the cute manatee duo from our Manatee-rific Stamp Set. She stamped and colored them in neutral hues. Aren't they adorable? 

Next, she created an underwater scene for these friends. She started by masking off a circle and ink blending inside it. Then she added some bubbles and splashes, stamped using our retiring Tranquil Tides Stamp Set. On the lower right she added a couple of bold coral images, also stamped from our Tranquil Tides Stamp Set and cut out using the Tranquil Tides Die Set.  

The finishing touch is the sentiment "SEAS the DAY" stamped from the Tranquil Tides Stamp Set along with some pretty pearls. 

We hope you enjoyed this fun inspiration by Maria today!  You can visit her over at her blog, Maria Russell Designs to see more of her lovely work!

Note: The Manatee-rific Stamp Set and Tranquil Tides Stamp Set are part of our retiring sale and will only be available while supplies last so if you like these products, make sure you get it while you can and don't forget to see what else is retiring in our retiring sale category! 

Salty Wishes Card by Maria Russell

Under the Sea!

Today Maria created this amazing under the sea scene! She stamped the fish and coral in several fun bright colors using our Tranquil Tides Stamp Set and cut them out using the coordinating Tranquil Tides Die Set. She added some glossy accents on the fish to make them shiny! So cool! For her underwater scene she created a fun blue background with lots of added bubbles and a sandy bottom using the curvy hill from our Land Borders Die Set. Then she layered all the fish and coral on top to create the lovely scene! She also added the sentiment "Salty kisses & Starfish wishes" from the Tranquil Tides Stamp Set on the bottom. Isn't this scene so pretty?

You're the Only Fish in the Sea for Me Card by Maria Russell

Slimline Sea Scene!

Slimline cards are so perfect for creating fun scenes! Today we are sharing a fabulous underwater scene card by Maria featuring the bold aquatic images from our Tranquil Tides Stamp Set. 

To create this fun scene, Maria used the large scallop edged slimline rectangle from our Slimline Frames & Portholes Die Set. Then she masked off the edge outside the stitched border and used our Waves Stencil to create waves and our Hills & Grass Stencil Set to create sandy underwater hills. She stamped the fish from ourTranquil Tides Stamp Set, cutting them out by hand and adding gloss over them for a fun shiny look. She added them to her underwater scene.  Then she stamped the coral and bubbles from our Tranquil Tides Stamp Set over the background using bright colored inks so that the images pop off the background. She added the sentiment "You are the only fish in the sea for me" in the upper corner with black ink. Then she added a few sequins for a bit of finishing sparkle!
