Hello there friends!Ā  Hope you’re having a wonderful week!Ā  Just wanted to stop in with a Slimline style card I had made with a fun underwater scene.Ā  (I’m thinking a magical place like this would be great to be in right now!Ā  How about you?)

These slimline cards are really great for creating scenes like this on and I was also having fun being able to “experiment” with my different products too!

I’ve the stamp set called Sea You Soon along with the background paper (mermaid skin) and the Lilac Shimmering Sand Paste were all items from a past card kit.

I created my underwater scene basically using the mermaid skin paper as the background.Ā  Although it has a cool texture and smoothness to it, I was able to take the School of Fish stencil and add that Lilac sand paste over it.Ā  Love that extra texture and purple hue it gave!Ā  I also took the silhouette images from the stamp set and heat embossed them over this paper with blackĀ EP.

I stamped and colored the rest of the images from the stamp set with Copic markers and then fussy cut them out to arrange for my scene and popped some up with foam tape and then lastly added some clear acrylic bubbles over it.

You can see now that it’s lying flat how the color shifts and changes on the paper!

I’ve used some stitched wave border dies to help create the scene using some KraftĀ cardstock where I’ve also fit in to arrange the sand castle image that I colored and cut out.Ā  I used Copic markers and gel pens to help fit the borders and image together.

I cut out the background paper with the Trinity Stamps Slimeline Stitched Card Panels and Windows die set.Ā  I layered it over a piece of blue paper that was included with the kit and then layered that over a Slimline style card base measuring 8.5″ x 7″ folded in half from a piece of Aubergine Cardstock.Ā  The sentiment was actually stamped from the Merfriends stamp set using blackĀ Ink.

You can see parts of the images with shimmer on them which have been colored with metallic gel pens.Ā  I’ve also covered the mermaid tail and jelly fish with a Spectrum Noir Glitter Brush Pen.

The bubbles are looking a bit white instead of clear because my glue wasn’t quite dry enough when taking my photos, so my apology on that, but it took a couple of days to completely dry up clear for some weird reason!Ā  Those babies aren’t going anywhere though!! LOL!

Hope you’ve enjoyed my magical underwater slimline card today!Ā  Thanks so much for joining with me today and I’ll SEA you again soon!šŸ˜
