Birthday Fishes

I love the Seize the Birthday challenge this week! 

I sat and had a play with the first idea that came to mind - but you never know, I might think of more before the week is out, lol. 

After cutting my postage die and positioning the blocks stencil, I inked with light and medium aqua, then placed my second stencil over the top (the waves) and inked with medium and dark aqua to get this tone-on-tone effect. Next I stamped some weeds along the "sea floor" before stamping, colouring and fussy-cutting the aquatic friends and cake. If you imagine those things at the top of the cake are candles (and that you could actually light candles underwater, lol), the blowfish is perfectly positioned to be blowing them out! (I know, my mind is a scary place 😉)

Materials used:

• stamps - Gill Friends (My Favorite Things), Big Bite (Gerda Steiner Designs)
• postage collage - A6 die and blocks stencil (Waffle Flower)
• other - blending brushes, Copic markers, waves stencil, Big Shot, MISTI, sticky grip mat, Dimensionals, foam tape, blender pen

Thanks for swimming by.

Cheers

You Blow My Mind - CAS on Friday Challenge #187

Welcome to another CAS on Friday challenge!

This is Challenge #187 and the theme is UNDER THE SEA.

Here's my card:

Materials used:

• stamps - Big Bite (Gerda Steiner Designs)

• distress oxide inks - cracked pistachio, mermaid lagoon
• other - waves stencil, craft foam, Copic markers, Stamparatus, blending brushes, sequins, enamel dots

How adorable is that little blowfish? Such a cute face! 

I stencilled with some distress oxide inks (cos you know how much I love those!) to get the wave effect for my background.
