SUOC 253 : Animals Whale of a time

Hello again everyone and thankyou so much for sparing the time to pop on to my blog and have a look at my project today, I really do appreciate it.

Well today I've made this gorgeous little card for the SUOC 253 challenge and the theme for this month was animals. I thought it would be a great chance to play with this gorgeous suite again called ' Whale of a time '. The card is a relatively easy card to make so let me show you how.

Materials needed:

Whisper white thick cardstock

1p - 4 1/8" x A4 length (UK) scored in half at 5 7/8" for card base

1pc - 3/4" x 1 5/8" for sentiment 

1pc - 4" x 5 3/4" for inside of card

1pc - 1" x 5 5/8" for the embossed waterbrushed front strip

Pretty peacock cardstock

1pc - 4" x 5 3/4" for front layer

Whale of a time dsp

1pc - 3 7/8" x 5 5/8" for the front layer

1pc - 3/4" x 5 3/4" for the inside of card

Card recipe:

1. Cut, score and burnish your card base.

2. Cut the pretty peacock card piece and the dsp piece and glue onto the front of your card base.

3. Cut your strip of whisper white cardstock and emboss it through your die cutting machine using your embossing folder. Now with the large water brush apply a couple of drops of Coastal cabana ink refill onto a stampin block and water it down using the brush, now brush it all over your card piece (being careful not to wet the card too much) once your happy with the look let it dry a bit. 

4. Once the card piece is dry you can now use some daubers and just apply a little bit of Pacific point from your inkpad and Coastal cabana also, by just gently rubbing the daubers in the areas you wish to colour.

5. Glue some of the ribbon round the front of your card attaching either side onto the reverse ( less ribbon is used this way).

See the picture below.

Now you can tie yourself a ribbon and glue using a glue dot on top of the wrapped around ribbon (I made a triple bow by tying it round my fingers in a figure of eight 3 times).

6. Glue this piece using wet glue to the front of your card.

7.Cut out 3 x turtles from one of the sheets of dsp that have the turtles on and attach to the front of the card.

8. Having cut your sentiment piece of card you can now ink your sentiment stamp up using the stampin' write marker pens, I've used granny apple green, coastal cabana and pacific point for my sentiment. Just rub the brush end of the pen over the section of the stamp that you want to be that colour. Glue this on with stampin' seal.

9. Now all that is left to do is the inside, so cut your inside whisper white piece of card, glue the piece of dsp for the inside of the card to the bottom of it and then attach to the inside of your card.

 

Hope you liked the card as much as I liked making it, stay safe and keep crafting till next time.

Thankyou
