I got a new stamp set in the mail yesterday and I couldn’t wait to play with it! But instead of just venturing out on my own I thought I’d browse Pinterest first. I found a card that I immediately knew I wanted to try. So this card is a partial CASE, as I had to change things a bit. But it looks very similar to Lisa’s card.
I originally tried to layer all of these pieces of cardstock on top of each other. It was crazy thick — too much for my liking. So I went about cutting and piecing, and this is what I ended up with for measurements:
Dapper Denim base at 5 1/2 x 4 1/4
Very Vanilla side strips at 1 x 5 1/4
Very Vanilla center strip at 1 3/4 x 5 1/4
Mint Macaron at 1 3/4 x 4
Mint Macaron DSP at 1 1/2 x 4
I embossed the center panel with the Seaside Embossing Folder, then sponged the raised lines with Mint Macaron.
I stamped the angelfish with Dapper Denim. I colored the extra stripes with a Crushed Curry marker, then went over each yellow stripe with Wink of Stella. I “winked” the starfish too. It’s too bad this sparkle doesn’t photograph well, it makes a lovely shine.
