Paper Layering Seahorse

Hi, friends! This is Caly and today I'm sharing a project made using one of this month's add-ons - the Paper Layering Seahorses die!

I stamped and embossed the background using the Bubbles Bold Prints background stamp after ink-blending Artic cardstock using Pool ink. I embossed the bubbles with White Detail Embossing Powder.

I die-cut the sea horse images with white cardstock and ink-blended them with Pale Tomato, Soft Blossom, Soft Vanilla inks to give them some color. Then I added some red cardstock underneath the big seahorse to add extra color.

I stamped and colored the plants from the Color Layering Betta Fish stamp set using Copic Markers (G03, YG07) and embossed a sentiment from this set to use on the card. To finish off the card, I added Clear Lacquer over the bubbles not touching the Seahorse to provide some shine.

I hope you enjoyed this card! Thanks so much for stopping by today - have a great one!

Marion Davis,

Just wondering how you got the dark pink layer to fill in the open areas without inlaying all those spaces. Love the look but can’t figure out how to duplicate it.

Henriétte,

This is so gorgeous Caly. I love how you made the background and the gorgeous Seahorse. The colours and everything fits so well together.
Thank you so much for sharing.

Kimberly T.,

Beautiful card! I love the background.

Farhana S,

Vikki H,
