Hello, I hope you are doing well. I have a card to share using some products from the June release at Spellbinders which I haven’t got around to using yet:
I started by ink blending my background panel using the two inks you see in the main picture. I splattered them with water and set it off to one side to dry.
This piece of card is an older Distress Heavystock – some of the batch which doesn’t take water well, so I had to be very careful with the amount of water I added – but the effect came out as I wanted.
Once dry, I die cut the bottle, and then used a Spellbinders embossing folder to create the bubble effect. Onto that embossed bottle I then rubbed – very gently – some of the Hero Arts white pigment ink so it would pick up some of the edges of the bubbles.
I then used a previously created ink smooshing panel of green – a lighter green panel and a darker green panel – to die cut the octopus layers and the seaweed.
I put the layers together, added some black for the eyes and mouth, and stuck them down onto the bottle.
The cork was from some brown cardstock, as was the board and sentiment, slotted into one of the arms of the octopus.
This was fun card to create, and I can see I’ll be playing with this die set again.
I shall be entering the following challenges:
