Big Fish card

I am so happy about how this card turned out! 
It looks cute in the picture but in real life it looks awesome!  The fish and the coral are from the Seascape bundle, which includes the Seascape stamp set 
and Sea Life dies.  

The seagrass was cut out using a Basic White cardstock front panel along with the Smooth Sailing dies and the Stampin' Cut and Emboss machine.  Once cut out, the front panel was backed with a piece of Rainbow Glimmer Paper.

The larger fish, the medium sized fish and the coral were also cut out using Rainbow Glimmer Paper and the Stampin' Cut and Emboss machine.  Dimensionals were used behind the larger fish to make it stick out from the card.

The little fish along the bottom of the front panel were stamped in Bermuda Bay ink.  The bubbles were stamped in Coastal Cabana ink.

Opal Rounds and Blue Adhesive-Backed Gems were placed randomly around the front panel.

The front panel was adhered onto a Expressions in Ink Designer Series Paper (DSP) panel.  This panel was then adhered onto the Basic White Thick cardstock cardbase.

The sentiment on the inside of the card is from the Whale Done stamp set and was stamped in Bermuda Bay ink.

The fish are from the Seascape stamp set.  The smaller fish have been stamped in Memento Tuxedo Black ink.  The larger fish was stamped in Bumblebee ink and then colored using Light Polished Pink, Light Pumpkin Pie, Light So Saffron Stampin' Blends.  Wink of Stella was brushed over the larger fish to give it a little bit of a glimmer.

The coral is from the Seascape stamp set and has been stamped using Real Red ink.

The little seahorse is from the Whale Done stamp set and has been stamped in Fresh Freesia ink.

Under the Sea Bay Window Card

When I saw this Bay Window technique used on a card made by Mixed Up Craft I knew I had to give it a try.
This card was made using the Pirates & Mermaids stamp set along with the Layering Diorama, Sea Life and Smooth Sailing Dies.  While this card may look difficult to make, it really was quite easy and goes together quick.
This card will lay completely flat to easily fit into a larger envelope.
The card works similar to an easel card, with the fish and the treasure chest holding the card front in place.  

The treasure chest is from the Pirates & Mermaids stamp set.  I used the VersaMark refill bottle to squeeze some VersaMark on the opening of the treasure chest and then heat embossed it with Gold Emboss powder.  Once heat embossed, I added various Rhinestone Jewels to make it look like gemstones.

The fish from the Sea Life die set was cut out using the Mango Melody portion of the Rainbow Glimmer Paper and the Stampin' Cut & Emboss machine.

The Smoky Slate anchor was covered with Wink of Stella Glitter Paint and then a piece of Linen Thread was wrapped around it.
The seahorse, fish and coral are from the Sea Life die set and have been cut out using the Rainbow Glimmer Paper.

The mermaid is from the Pirates & Mermaids stamp set.  The mermaid was stamped in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink onto Basic White cardstock and then fussy cut.  The mermaid tail was colored with Light and Dark Bermuda Bay and Light Shaded Spruce Stampin' Blends and then colored over with Wink of Stella Glitter paint.  Her skin was colored with an Ivory Stampin' Blend.

The pilots wheel is from the Smooth Sailing die set and is adhered to the card front with a Round Brad so that the wheel will spin around.
Here's a look at the card without the front panel.  Shimmery Crystal Effects and Opal Rounds were used to make the "air bubbles".

The retired Whale of a Time Designer Series Paper was used for the background on this card.
