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!
