Hello Bluebird August Release Day 3

Hello there! The August Hello Bluebird release is available today and it’s fintastic!! Today I’m featuring the fun Sea Life stamp set and dies along with the Sea Sentiments and Word Bubbles dies and the awesome new Ocean Overlay die!

This was a fun card to create! The fish and dolphins for my card where fun to color and the background was easy to put together! I started out by stamping and die cutting my images from the Sea Life stamp set and a few from the new Sea Friends set, and then coloring them using copic markers. 

For my background, I used a piece of light blue card stock and blended on some mermaid lagoon distress oxide ink along the edges then used the small silhouette images of fish from the Sea Sentiments set and randomly stamped them on the background using the mermaid lagoon ink. Once that was done I die cut my inked panel using the Ocean Overlay die and also die cut one from white card stock. Next I cut a piece of white card stock that was the same size as my die cut Ocean Overlay piece to use as a base and glued on my white die cut piece and glue each inked die cut piece in place. It was like filling in a puzzle.

After my background was done, I stamped my sentiment from the Sea Sentiments set and used the Word Bubbles dies to die cut it. Then I added all of my images popping up several of them with foam tape and then added some Glossy Accents to the bubbles to give them a raised glossy look.
