Swimming By to Say Hi


Hello
Time for some beachy fun.
Today, I am using the new stencil from A Colorful Life Designs called 

So, here's what I did to create my card.
  • I took a piece of white cardstock and placed the Frothy Waves stencil over that.  I inked it up with some Salty Ocean Distress Oxide ink.  To help add some variation in the colour of the waves, I inked randomly with some Blueprint Sketch DOX ink.
  • Next, I used the Waffle Flower Die-Postage Collage and die cut the stenciled panel out.
  • I placed the panel into my Misti and stamped the sentiment in the bottom right hand corner.
  • I glued it onto a piece of white cardstock, then used some foam tape to add it to an A2 sized card base.
  • I stamped the little sea creatures in my Misti and coloured them with my Copic markers.
  • I cut them out and popped them over the wavy background with some more foam tape.

Here is the stencil I used:
