Hello everyone and welcome to the Spellbinders and FSJ Hello Summer blog hop! I’m thrilled to be
part of this event and happy to share my project with you! There is an awesome
giveaway. Check the details bellow.
The hop begins on the Spellbinders blog and if you have been hopping along, you should have
come from Justine Hovey‘s blog. Make sure you
hop around to all of the blogs featured in the link list at the bottom of this
post.
For my card, I used products from FSJ Hello Summer Collection,
especially from the fabulous Hello Summer Splash Project Kit
(the products are also available separately):
I first created a background using Distress inks and
blending tools. To add interest to my underwater background, I used the Splash Zone stencil
that I gently sponged with blue ink over the right edge. I splattered some
water to the panel. Once it was dry, I stamped the sentiment from the Make Waves
stamp set to the background and heat embossed it with white embossing powder. I
adhered the panel to a top-folded white card base. Next, I stamped the mermaid,
also from the Make Waves stamp
set, onto white cardstock in black ink, colored and cut her with scissors (but
there are coordinating dies
too). I fixed the mermaid with foam pads to the underwater background for more
dimension. To finish off my card, I added some of these fabulous Splash Zone sequins
and tiny clear drops made with Glossy Accents. They really look like water drops and
it adds texture!
