Hello there, today I have a card to share using the Best Friends Stamp Set from Clearly Besotted, along with one of my favourite ever sentiment sets - A Little Sentimental. I had a piece of alcohol ink background left over from a previous card and I thought the shark and fish image would work perfectly for it.
I started off by stamping the shark and fish image with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink on to white cardstock. I coloured the image in using Copic Markers and then fussy cut out with scissors (there are coordinating dies but I do not have them). I then added white gel pen dots to their eyes and glitter pen to the fish's fins.
I had a piece of alcohol inked background that I had used on this card left over and I really wanted to use it somehow. The piece was made by adding three shades of alcohol ink to Yupo Paper to create an ombre look. I used Aqua, Pool and Sail Boat Blue. I took an 4" x 5.25" white card base and added this strip on to the right hand side with tape runner. I then took a panel of white cardstock and cut it using one of the MFT Stitched Scallop Edges dies. Because I wanted to the edge to be the opposite way of the die, I just used the negative piece of the die and not the positive. This way I ended up with inverted scallops without the stitching but I still think it looks nice! This was added flat to the left side of the card with tape runner.
I stamped the 'fabulous friend' sentiment from the A Little Sentimental set and stamped this on to a piece of white cardstock with more Memento Tuxedo Black Ink. It was cut out using one of the MFT Stitched Rectangle Window Dies (again I used it the opposite way around, so I do not have the stitching detail). I added this to the card base with foam tape and then added the shark and fish above with more foam tape. To finish off, I added Lucy's Cards Ice Cube Jewels around the image.

ReplyDeleteI am so glad you put that remaining alcohol piece to work Michelle and it goes perfectly with this card! Your colouring of the two friends is fabulous as always and what a clever idea to use the inverted edge, as it looks like teeny tiny shark teeth! 💕
