So today is the start of a new challenge over at Jay Gee's Nook and today's theme is all about the Nautical and Ocean theme...I have been playing around with some images over at Pinterest and ended up creating a inspiration photo for you all to create those wonderful cards, I am really thrilled that Judith decided to use my inspiration photo and it looks as though I may have the permanent gig now...LOL
Here is the inspiration photo...
Here is the card that I created...
I started with a trimmed white card to form the card, then trimming slightly smaller pieces of blue and more white card stock to be layered. I ran the piece of white card stock through my Cuttlebug, embossing it with the Sunshine Impression Plate. Next, I trimmed a piece of dark blue card stock and adhered this to the white, running a piece of score tape across the bottom and adhering glitter. I then stamped a sentiment from the Whale Wishes Mini Stamp Set and embossed it with white embossing powder, adding white twine above the sentiment and adhered all card stocks to the front of the card. Taking the stamp set Friendly Flags, I stamped one of the flags from this set onto white card stock using Broken China distress ink and trimmed each of the flags out, then adhered to the card with foam dimensionals. To complete the card I took a different coloured blue card stock and ran the coordinating whale die through my Cuttlebug and adhered to the card with more foam dimenensionals, adding a little eye to finish.
I hope you will all have some time to enter this fab Challenge, to check out all the details and what you could win, plus what the other DT gals have created, you can visit HERE.
Okay I am off to grab some breakfast...Oh and before I do that I must mention that I have added links to most of the products I have used to create the card at the bottom of the post, just hover over each picture and click.
Have a great day!
Hugs
