Under the Sea

Hello and Welcome

Today's card is featuring this beautiful stencil called Big Seaweed.  

It is part of a series of stencils released this month featuring a beach/ocean theme.

So here's what I did to create my card.

• I cut a white cardstock panel and laid the Big Seaweed stencil over my paper.
• I decided to ink it up using some Brusho, so I sprinkled a few onto a piece of acetate, sprayed with water to activate, then using a baby wipe, I inked over the stencil by dipping the wipe into the wet ink and pressing over the stencil.  The Brushos give such vibrant colours to anything.  Be sure not to use a lot as they go a long way.
• When the panel was dry, I used a blending brush to add some Salty Ocean Distress Oxide ink and then I splattered with my black Posca pen.
• Next, I used a circle die and cut it from the center of the inked panel.
• I placed the circle into my Misti and stamped the sentiment near the bottom of the circle.
• I stamped the little fish from a set by Lawn Fawn, die cut them out and coloured them with the left over Brushos on the acetate sheet and a wet paintbrush.
• I glued the stenciled piece onto a heavy white card base, then pop dotted the circle back into place.
• I pop dotted the little fish over the sentiment as well.

Here is the stencil I used:
