From The Sea Shaped Card

Hello crafty friends, Melin here today sharing a cute card I created with some of the latest Spellbinders Digital Die Collections. I used the Labels 13 S4-248 set to create my card base. I simply created a duplicate of the largest layer and welded them together at the top. I then cut one of the smaller layers using some of the very pretty paper in the DCWV Linen Closet cardstock stack. I then proceeded to cut out another smaller layer, and then used that same sized layer and my lattice tool to create a latticed layer. I glued that on top of the bottom layer that was cut with some pretty glitter paper from the same stack.

Next, I moved on to the pretty sea horse from the From the Sea collection. I cut out several layers using a combination of papers from the same DCWV stack and also some plain white cardstock. With the plain white cardstock layer, I proceeded to ink the horse in varying shades of blues, purples and pinks. I then layered that on top of the other layers and then added some star dust stickles to dress it up. I then used the Ocean Corner cut file from the Craft Room Library and cut out the seaweed and the sea shells all in white cardstock. Once again I used my various colored inks to color the various pieces. I love the look of inking them when they are a white base. It gives the die cuts a softer, watercolor type look and you get more “depth” to the look of your die cuts. Finally I created the sentiment in my software by simply using a font and typing it into a circle. I printed and cut that out and inked the edges. I then cut several smaller circles and inked them to simulate bubbles. Lastly, I added some blue liquid pearls around the seaweed and horse to simulate smaller water bubbles. I just love that we have access to the Spellbinders Collections with our Pazzles. Truly a match made in crafty heaven!
