ATSM #446 - Make Your Mark


The next Addicted to Stamps and More Challenge is #446 Make Your Mark.  This is my favorite of the 5 challenge topics we do at ATSM.  It gives me an excuse and a kick in the pants to go all out.


This time I created an underwater birthday card I've had in my head for a bit, all due to the cute cute octopus.  And I just like making underwater scenes.


These are some of the details I really like about this card:
  • I used my Copic Airbrush to ombre-color the glitter sand at the bottom.
  • I gave the idea of rocky outcroppings using Distress Oxide Lost Shadow and Avery Elle Underwater Background Builder.
  • I used Glossy Accents on the camera lens and scuba mask.
  • The way the seaweed weaves into the glitter Smile diecut.
  • The illusion of bubbles using the Lawn Fawn Itsy Bitsy Polka Dot Backdrop. I used Scor-Tape on the card front and burnished the glitter into the dots and borders for extra pizzazz.
  • I decorated the inside of the card.  I had to tho--I can't resist a pun. Of course, it was after I stamped that I remembered I had rainbow fish washi.  I can use that next time . . . if I remember!

This card is just so fun; I absolutely loved making it and hope it inspires you!
