I Love Every-fin About You Card by February Guest Designer Lori U'ren

Hello crafty friends!

It's Lori today and I'm back with my third post as NND February Guest Designer!

I mentioned last week that I loved ocean themed cards, so today I have another one to share.

I began my card by creating an A2 sized card base and then die cutting waves from the Sea Borders Die Set all in different shades of blue. I also die cut the ocean floor from a the Land Borders Die Set in Kraft cardstock.

Next I stamped out all of my images from the Tides of Love stamp set on #80 Neenah Solar White cardstock using Hero Arts Intense Black Ink. I ran the images through my Brother Scan n Cut and colored them with Copic markers. For my whale, I knew from the moment I saw this stamp set, I wanted to color his belly with rainbow colors. After coloring all of the images, I heat embossed the sentiment I love Every-fin about you! in WOW! Earth Tone Blueberry embossing powder to match my card.

I used thin foam tape to adhere the ocean floor and waves on my card base, and a combination of thin foam tape, 3M foam tape, Glossy Accents, and liquid glue to adhere the images to my card.

I also stamped the inside of the card with the whale and the sentiment I whale ALWAYS love you!

To complete the card I added little hearts above the whales spout, iridescent acrylic bubbles, and clear acrylic bubbles around the card. I added small dots of Glossy Accents around the card as well to look like more bubbles in the ocean.

I used a white gel pen for highlights and interest, and more Glossy Accents to the ocean animals.

And that's my card for today, I'll be back next week with my last card as NND February Guest Designer!

Thanks for stopping by today,

-Lori
