Well- it’s Monday, y’all! DIS-embarkation day! It always seems so far away and then…BOOM!!…here it is! We have a later afternoon flight – get in WAAAY late so….this is a LOOONG day! But – by tomorrow we’ll be reunited with the doggo’s!! 🙂
Today’s card is all about the water-life, with three pretty seahorses from the Natural Artistry stamp set – all perched atop sea-grassy paper from the Valley in Bloom DSP. Take a look-see!
My friend Amy Koenders did a similar card and I loved it so…I made my own!
The pretty colors for this card are from the Sunday Stamps color challenge this week!
I did a quick video on how to make this card – which is posted on Instagram. If you’d like to give that a watch – click here!
I started by adhering a 3 7/8″ x 5 1/8″ piece of Valley in Bloom DSP on a Granny Apple Green mat for the card front.
Using the second-from-smallest Perennial Postage die, I cut out two from some Garden Green cardstock and adhered them to the card front – horizontally and slightly separated. Note: the photo shows it with the twine already in place – but…I changed my design-mind and pulled it back off. It’s going to go on AFTER the next steps! Sorry!
On a piece of Basic White cardstock, I stamped the Natural Artistry seahorse three times – once in Berry Burst, once in Garden Green and once in Fresh Freesia.
Using the same second-from-smallest Perennial Postage die, I cut out all three seahorses. Then I adhered them to the card front – starting with the middle Garden Green horse – with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
I wrapped some white Baker’s Twine around the card front – criss-crossing it in the middle and adhering it in the back with Glue Dots. Then I tied a bow from two lengths of white Baker’s Twine and adhered it with a Glue Dot
On a piece of Garden Green cardstock, I stamped the Natural Artistry sentiment in Versamark Ink, sprinkled it with white Basics WOW! Embossing Powder and heat set it with a Heat Tool.
When the embossing powder had cooled, I used a square Perennial Postage die to cut out the sentiment – positioning it as a diamond.
Then I adhered the sentiment onto the card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
Finally, I added some Old Olive Dewdrops Embellishments and the card front was done!
On the inside, I stamped a second Natural Artistry sentiment in Garden Green ink on a Basic White panel. In the corner, I stamped two of the seahorses – one each in Berry Burst and Fresh Freesia ink.
I used Liquid Glue to adhere the panel to the inside of my Garden Green card base, popped the card front on with Stampin’ Dimensionals and the card was done.
My Basic White Medium Envelope got the two Natural Artistry seahorses on the front…
…and more of the Valley in Bloom DSP on the envelope flap.
Et Voila! Oh – I do LOVE this seahorse images – well, all three of the sketched images from Natural Artistry, really! – don’t you?! Sooo pretty! And the Valley in Bloom DSP was a bit of a surprise, huh? I think it plays very well for an undersea themed card!!
I hope you like!
