Festive Friday – World Mental Health Day – #FF0144 – Beauty of the Deep

It’s time once again for another Festive Friday Challenge. This challenge is designed by several Demonstrators from all around the world. We are given a list of 10 inspirational items to pick from and we must use at least 3 to create out cards. This weeks challenge is World Mental Health Day #FF0144. I decided to use the Beauty by the Sea stamp set.

The Inspirational items I used to create my card was Blue, Green, Sparkle and Frame.

Cutting and Instructions to create this card:

1. Card base is Basic White card stock cut at 8 1/2″ x 5 1/2 ” scored and folded at 4 1/4″
2. With Blending Brushes and Pool Party, Coastal Cabanna and Balmy Blue ink , lightly brush the Basic White card stock with the inks creating an under water scene
3. Cut another piece of Basic White card stock 5 1/4″ x 4″ and lightly blend this layer the same as the card base. I brushed it a little lighter than the card base
4. Use the 3 1/4″ Deckled Circle die and die cut a circle in the center of the card layer. Brush the edges of the circle opening with Coastal Cabanna ink, darkening the edges a little
5. Lightly mark the circle opening with a pencil to give yourself an area to create the under water scene
6. Stamp the coral reel in Versa Mark ink and heat emboss in White Embossing Powder
7. Stamp the long leafy image on the card base in Old Olive ink and the small leaves in Garden Green ink and do second generation as well
8. On a scrape of Basic White card stock, stamp the long leafy image in Old Olive and Garden Green ink. Color them with a Blender Pen
9. Stamp the fish in Memento Black ink and color the fish with light Lemon Lolly Stampin Blends
10. Stamp the anchor in Gray Granite ink
11. Die cut these images and add to the card with dimenstionals
12. Add some Basic Rhinestones and some Loose Silver Sequins to the card for some bling
