Hello! Today, I am sharing a friendship (or love) card created with Rubbernecker dies and stamp set. There are a number of occasions for which this card would work.
Create focal elements
- Die-cut Tropical Fish from colored, white, and black cardstock; assemble. To inlay the eyes, remove eye of the fish body color, add tape to the back of the fish, and drop in black cardstock eye.
- Die-cut small fish with the Sea Animals set from colored cardstock.
- Die-cut the Submarine from colored and black cardstock. Only die-cut the portion of the submarine visible in the frame.
- To add textural interest, heat-emboss pieces with clear embossing powder. With tweezers holding the die-cut piece, press piece into VersaMark ink pad, apply clear embossing powder, and heat emboss. (Technique used on fish stripes, fish fins, small fish, and submarine’s glass windows.)
- Die-cut underwater vegetation from two shades of green cardstock with the Sea Kelp and Seaweed/Coral die sets.
Create frame and background
- Die-cut the Slimline OPC Squares frame from white cardstock.
- Stamp the Under the Sea #2 sentiment in VersaFine Onyx Black ink on teal cardstock panel.
- Add foam adhesive strips to frame. Trim sentiment panel and attach to the back of the frame.
- Create slimline card base in dark teal cardstock.
- Cut black cardstock 8 2/8 inches wide by 3 3/8 inches tall. Attach to card base.
- Attach frame with sentiment panel to card base.
Assemble
- Add elements – fish, seaweed, submarine – inside frame with dot adhesive and foam adhesive; trim elements as needed.
