Hello. A little playing in my craft room to produce this card:

Usint the colours from the current Color Throwdown Challenge, I decided to use an older Spellbinders die of the swans.

I die cut them out of cream card stock, all layers twice for dimension and stability, and added the wings with a little piece of 3D foam.

The face details were die cut out of Kraft and black.

The oval shapes were cut using another Spellbinders die, and I took some light blue card and die cut that with the same smaller oval. I then took some scene creator dies to die cut the two layers of the water, then ran those two pieces through an embossing folder to give the effect of waves.

The uppermost water layer was inked slightly on the edge to make it stand out a little more.

The layers were glued together, but I did raise the top water layer on some thinner 3D foam, then glued the swans flat.

The sentiment is a black foiled strip.
