You Octopi My Heart Card by Amanda Wilcox

You Octopi my Heart!

Today we are sharing an adorable card by Amanda that will "Octopi" your heart! She created this amazing underwater scene using our new Tides of Love Stamp Set. She features the octopus and three little fish from the set, embossing them onto Bristol paper and coloring them with fun bright watercolors. Isn't the octopus so cute in orange? To cut the images out she used our coordinating Tides of Love Die Set and layered them over a fun watery background.

To create the water background she scribbled Tombow markers unto a clear stamp block and then spritzed it with water before squishing it onto the watercolor paper! What a fun technique! She cut the background panel out with a scalloped edge using Frames & Flags Die Set. She also cut out hill of sand using our Land Borders Die Set, splattering it with distress ink and paint to add that fun sand texture!

For finishing touches, she added the sentiment "you octopi my heart" onto a thought bubble that was cut out using our Speech Bubbles Die Set. She also added cute little heart shaped gems to add to the love!

Here are a couple of close-ups so you can see all the gorgeous details:
