This is my sample for CC591. I am your hostess this week and I chose night of navy, flirty flamingo and mint macaron for my color trio. Dessert is to use a die cut.
For my card I created an under the sea scene with lots of die cuts. Used the under the sea dies from CottageCutz.
My background “water” is mint macaron dsp from the Stampin’-Up “perfectly artistic” collection. I liked the shading and thought it had a water like feel to it. I layered it on mint macaron and then my card base is night of navy cardstock.
From there I cut my dies and placed them in the scene. For the sea weed, I used mint macaron cardstock and to get different shades of green I sponged with mint macaron ink.
The rocks are cut in kraft and baked brown sugar cardstock. I sponged the kraft with crumb cake ink for dimension.
The fish are also dies from CottageCutz. I used Happy Fish 2 and the Clown Fish dies. I cut them from a mixed media paper and with an aqua brush and night of navy reinker and flirty flamingo ink pad colored them. I wanted a deeper shade of flirty flamingo since I also cut the coral from that cardstock. I used a flirty flamingo enamel dot for the clown fish eye.
The water bubbles are cut from acetate. I used a hinged technique to get my night of navy card base to 4 3/4" x 5 3/4".
ThatÂ’s my sample for this week. Hope you can play along. Check out the other DT cards for more inspiration.
