Good Morning.
Just a fun card celebrating summer's arrival.
I used a new for June stencil called Mr. Bubble and a new stamp set called Chasing the Sun from A Colorful Life Designs.
So, here's what I did to create my card.
- I placed a piece of white cardstock onto my Make Art Station and positioned the Mr. Bubble stencil over that. I inked it up with some Salty Ocean Distress Oxide ink.
- Leaving the stencil in place, I inked the largest bubble with some Uncharted Mariner DOX to bring the highlight to where I wanted to put the little fish. Without inking my blending brush again, I added some ink in other areas too for some shadowing.
- Again, leaving the stencil in place, I stamped over it with a splatter stamp using more of the Uncharted Mariner ink. It really added to the look of the bubbles.
- I splattered with my white Posca pen and set aside to dry.
- I stamped the fish, die cut it out and coloured it with my Copic markers. I covered the goggles the fish is wearing with some Nuvo Crystal Glaze to make them look glassy.
- I placed the stenciled panel into my Misti and stamped the sentiment from the new Chasing the Sun set in the darker area of my card panel.
- I glued the stenciled panel onto an A2 card panel then used some foam tape to pop up the fish over the sentiment.
Here is the stencil and stamp set I used:
