Good morning everyone and welcome to the Memory Box 2019 Spring Blog Blitz! We hope you will join us each day for inspiring ideas and a chance to win prizes!
For my card today I used only a portion of one of the dies. I think it’s fun to see how to get the most out of your supplies. Laura’s great card on Monday showed her using the whole die and I am only using the fish from the die to create my card.
To create this card I die cut the fish 4 times from watercolor paper and glued them on my card front. I also used watercolor paper for my card front.
Once the glue was dry I sponged over the fish background with Distress Inks. I misted the background with plain water and let the ink drip and blend.
Once the paper was dry, I stamped the word “sending” using black ink. I used a distress inked strip of paper and stamped the “birthday fishes” sentiment with Versa Mark ink and heat embossed it with white embossing powder.
I adhered the card front to a white card base using foam tape.
To finish the card I glued some clear embellishments to the front.
