Hoping You'll be Back in the Swim of Things Soon!

Hello!  This is Sukie and today I'm sharing this card for my design team day created with the new Arctic Animals die release which is currently on sale!
I cut out the whale from the Arctic Whale & Narwhal die set and the seal from the Baby Seals die set.  The sliced oval is from the Pierced Oval Set.  The waves are punched from the Fiskar's Boundary Waters border punch.
I used some Oxide Ink for the background of my card and for the borders and then splattered everything with some water.
I stamped a sentiment from the Scrappy Moms (retired) Beach Bums stamp set on my card base and then added the oval and borders along the bottom edge.
The seal was placed on the center of the oval to mimic a mound of sand with the whale jumping above the waves.
A few sequins were scattered above the whale as a finishing accent on my card
Here are the die sets used on my card, available in the store:

Adventure Awaits

Hi! Janja is here today with a card for all adventure travel lovers.


- CottageCutz dies: Arctic Whale & Narwhal, Snowy Mountains, Seal & Walrus Pals, Camping Phrases, Woodland Pine Trees
- white card blank: 5.5 x 5.5" (14 x 14 cm), folded
- light blue paper: 2.2 x 5.3" (5,6 x 13,5 cm)
- blue paper: 3.4 x 5.3" (8,6 x 13,5 cm)
- colored cardstock
- colored pads
- glue, double-sided adhesive tape, self-adhesive foam pads

First, start making a card by cutting out all of its elements.
I cut all my pieces out of colored cardstock. You can also use white cardstock, and color all the pieces with any color media.


For both islands I used floating ice sheets and for different conifers only their upper parts.


Use colored paper in two shades of blue for the sky and the sea.
Cut the mountains from white cardstock. Use them as a stencil to shade the sky behind the mountains. Now paste the mountains to the shaded spot.
Shade a part of the sea with a bit darker ink pad.


Paste both papers with a double-sided adhesive tape to get a 5.3 x 5.3 inches (13.5 x 13.5 cm) background.
Cut or tear off a strip from the same paper as the sea.
Paste a white "Adventure" cutout on the right.


Paste the forest to both islands and all together on the background. Paste the Arctic Whale on the back of the strip.
Finish the card by attaching the strip to the bottom edge with foam self-adhesive pads.



Have a nice day.
Janja
