Seas the day...

Happy Monday everyone!

Today is wonderful 

Whimsy Stamps 

July new release day!

Oh my word, the new release goodies are a-ma-zing this month!

I'm kicking things off by showing you a card I made with a really cute stamp set

Baby Sea Creatures Clear Stamp Set
by Krista Heij-Barber

I really loved making this card - I must say thank you though to the super talented Yana Smakula for the layout inspiration!

To make this card I die cut a rectangle of card with the largest
Hand Stitched Nested Rectangle Dies

I then drew a faint pencil circle by drawing around the largest

Whimsy Stamps Pierced and Stitched Circle Die

Next I stamped the gorgeous Turtle and seahorse from the 

Baby Sea Creatures Clear Stamp Set

in black ink

I then coloured the underwater background and the sea creatures with Copics.  I used Copic colourless blender to stamp the bubbles and added lots of bubble details with a white gel pen and a clear Wink of Stella pen.

Sea - B99, B95, E34, E21, BG11
Baby Sea Creatures - E44, E84, BG96, YG17, YG25, YG23, YG97, YG95, YG25

I then die cut some vellum shapes from the 

Build and Ocean Die Set 

and fixed these to the right of the design with a sentiment stamped and cut out with a banner die from the 

Quick Strips Die Set

Finally I added some 

Winter Wishes Enamel Dots
