This week we are sending a Tea Party to Marla who is recovering from surgery and needs a bit of cheer. She loves the beach so our hostess, Pat, challenged us to include one. Mine is at the bottom of the ocean.
To start the card, I ink blended and stenciled one white panel with the aqua DOXs and then ink blended another white panel with the bluer DOXs without the stencil. I die cut both panels with the MFT die and reassembled using pieces from both. It was one of those days....the top got a bit messed up from the glue, so I layered the second frame over the reassembled panel up side down. I love all the extra waves that creates. Unfortunately, I messed up the top again with glue (DOX does not like glue) so the sea gulls decided to join this party. The rest is just stamp, color, die cut and glue.
I do love the happy look on this whale and I hope Marla does too. Since she loves seashells I made sure to include several at the bottom. I hope the cards speeding her way will bring her some cheer and a lot of smiles. Hope your day is filled with cheer as well and that you aren't having one of "those" days. TFL.

Love this! If this is what your cards look like with mistakes, you should probably just keep making mistakes. That background is gorgeous! Love the colors you chose.

Wow, this is fabulous, love the look of that stenciled background! Such a fun and colorful ocean floor scene with all the sea shells and greenery and even a smiling dolphin. Great card for Marla!

The big smile on your whale brought a smile to my face ... Marla is going to love this! Your ocean waves and all those seashells are wonderful!
