 I kept both cards fairly simple. So let's take a look at my projects!

CARD #1 RECIPE
  • On Bristol paper I stamped out the Botanical 'Hi' Stamp using the Misti. When I water color, I like to restamp over the colored image to darken the lines afterward so leave the stamp in place.
  • I used Karen brush makers to add color to this floral image. First I wet the paper and gave the entire image a rainbow gradient with the watered down colors from the markers.
  • Once the first layer was done I went back and added more layers of color to the floral image to add some depth and dimension.

  • The "Hi" was colored with a solid black marker. 
  • At this point I placed the colored image back in to the Misti and restamped it for crisper finish.
  • Cover the floral image with a mask and add splatters of color.
  • To make the sparkly "Hi" I added glossy accents to the letters and sprinkled it using Sparkle Glitter while it was still wet. Set aside to dry.
  • Trim and glue to card base.

Ocean Scene Shadow Box Card | Honey Bee Stamps

Ocean Scene, Shadow Box Card,Honey Bee Stamps, Card Making, Stamping, Die Cutting, handmade card, ilovedoingallthingscrafty, Stamps, how to, Under water, birthday, retirement

Hello friends! 

Hope you are enjoyng the beautiful warm weather, and hopefully you aren't in a place where the temperatures are extremely hot at the moment. Thankfully here in Edmonton, the weather has wonderful. Even still I wish we lived closer to the beach so I could go dive into the ocean just like todays card reminds me of.

CARD RECIPE

  • Die cut all the ocean pieces you want to use from the Ocean Deep Scene Builder Dies. With Copic markers and gel pen add details to the die cuts. Set them aside.
  • Die cut the pieces for the shadow box card. I used the A2 Scene Builder Card Base Dies to create the skeleton for this shadow box card. I die cut the front of this die set 3 times using progressively darker shades of blue card stock. This die cuts an opening for the card scene, but because I want to create the ocean wave layers I had to cut 3 pieces of the same colored cardstock to cover up the opening which measured 4.5 x 4.25 inches. I then die cut the ocean waves into each layer from largest to smallest, lightest to darkest color.

  • Glue the ocean layer onto the coordinating front card die-cut frame. 
  • Cut the side panels to 1/4 inch on each side of the frames, you will use these tabs to glue later to form the layers of the card.
  • To the back panel of the card base (black layer), I stamped out the sentiment from the Seas The Day stamp set.

  • Attach the 2 middle layers of the scene to the card base. I used red line tape and attached one side first and then the other side, ensuring they fold flat in both directions.
  • For the top layer of the ocean frame, I used the Layered Waves Stencils to add more interest to the front of the card by blending out Salty Ocean Distress Oxide ink. 
  • Start gluing the pieces to create the ocean scene. 
  • Once you are happy glue one side of the card to the base and then fold and line up to glue the other side of the card. 
  • Finish by adding gel pen details and gem stickers.

To the back, I glued a white card panel and left it blank. I think this card would make a great retirement, birthday, or Bon Voyage card. 

Fold flat into an A2-sized envelope and mail it to a friend. 

I hope this Ocean Scene Shadow Box Card inspired you today. Thank you for stopping by and until next time... Happy Crafting!
