Hello there! Happy Friday!
Today I have a fun card inspired by nature. My daughter loves wildlife shows and cartoons that have to do with wildlife. So we watched a show about Humboldt Squid and that is what inspired this card. Humboldt are known for their bioluminescence and flashing red and white while hunting. I used blue in my card instead of white, as I thought it was a better contrast.
How I made this card:
- I started by cutting my blue cardstock 8.5 X 5.5. I scored it at 4.25 inches.
- Next, I stamped this background ocean stamp on all sides with Stormy Sky Distress Ink.
- After that, I scored the card at 2.125 to make it a Z-fold card.
- Then, I used a circle die cut and cut half of a circle form the Z portion of the card.
- I die cut the same sized circle from white cardstock and used the distress ink to color it. I adhered it to the card base so it lined up with half circle die cut.
- On a bit of Navy CS, I embossed the sentiment with platinum embossing powder and used foam tape to mount it on the card.
- I stamped one squid from the Inky set and colored it using red and pink Copics.
- I mirror stamped another squid, made it a little darker with my Copic friendly liner pen and colored it with blue Copics.
- I colored the edges of both images with my black liner and added some black to the back as well in case they didn't perfectly line up.
- I used mono adhesive on both squids. I also added some extremely sticky double sided tape along the middle of the image and then added some fishing line down the middle.
- I ran the line down the edge in the z fold and taped it down so it was taught, then I used liquid glue (Glossy Accents) to ensure it held tight and trimmed the ends.
Here is a close up of the blue side:
So I do NOT do videos, BUT, I tried to capture what it would look like to see the spinner.
Well I hope you enjoyed this creation today. You are welcome to visit my blog for a full list of supplies.
